From the time when kids had to walk uphill both way to school. There was dozens of country schools across the county ensuring that no kid had to walk more than 3 miles

This school probaly has the most colorfun history of any of the schools It started as part of Dist 18 known at the time as the Mullison district. . The School has moved at least 6 times. Some of the moves were autorized. Some were in the dead of night and unauthorized. This led to many disturbances and a couple of fist fights in town. Somewhere around 1910 another school was built and then Fairview was formed in 1915.. At one time the school was located less than a 1/4 mile north of this site on what appears to be the side of the large hill. It continued until 1951 when it became Fairview consolidated Dist 6 and was located a mile south. The original Mullison School House is still standing somewhere in Wray repurpoused as a garage
