Summary
In 1914, following a successful campaign by the residents of Burkittsville, a new school was built. The brick school was comprised of three classrooms and an auditorium on the main floor, which was later converted to a cafeteria. Two gymnasiums were built below, one for boys and the other for girls.
This school only existed for a short time as it was destroyed by fire in 1918, leaving only the brick walls standing. A new school was built in its place and remained operational until 1968.
