Histoire administrative
In the early part of the twentieth century, the children of Tuxford had been attending the Fairwell School. Attempts had been made to start a school but they were not successful.
On September 3, 1909, the first school meeting was held and the Tuxford School District No. 2486 was formed with D.E. Macintyre as chair, E.J. Golden as secretary-treasurer and J.H. Storry, Alex Forrest and John B. Calver as trustees.
Property was bought in northwest of the village of Tuxford (SW5-19-26 W2) and a tender was awarded to George A. Sloan in October. Charles S. Stewart was hired as a teacher on December 28 and he began classes on January 3, 1910.
This school operated until 1921, when a two room brick building began operation. The wooden structure was moved to another area of the town and used as a residence.
In 1963, a new school constructed of cinder block came into use.
By 1974, only one classroom of younger children (grades 1 to 5) remained with the balance being bussed to Moose Jaw. Olive (Thomas) Wells, the last teacher, retired and the school was closed.
