Administrative history / Biographical sketch
The 1929 minutes of the Fox Creek School District discuss a proposed 30 student building be built on SW ¼ of 4-76-26 W5. By-laws were put in place for the issuing of debentures in order to raise $1750. Trustees included C.E. Bobier, W. Warner, E. MacDaid and R. Socquet. In 1931 the building was used for dances to raise money and a teacher was being sought. In April of 1931 inspector, Mr. Oke, reported the building passed inspection and the first 14 students were doing well under teacher, Dora Doyle. By 1943, the board was requesting their Spirit River School Division representative, Mr. Sather, ask for repairs to weather proof the building or have it closed for the winter. By 1946-47 there were two classrooms operating as students were being bussed from the Codesa and Four Mile Creek areas. By 1957 there are only 18 children in grades 1-8.
