Historical Saskatchewan: Fox Valley School

Fox Valley School District No. 2879 was organized in 1913, and its first school, a one-room country schoolhouse, was built a year later.

The two-room Public School, built in 1928, was the first school constructed in the village. A second, identical two-room school was erected on the same grounds in 1944 to accommodate increasing enrolments in the growing community. By the 1950s, the district’s rural schools were closing and their remaining students were being bussed to the village.

The original 1928 school was used for wood-working instruction until its closure in 1983.
