July 11, 1880 Mr. William Stephenson recommended in a letter to the Department of Education in Victoria that a mud-chinked log barn provided by Gavin Hamilton be renovated for $300 and be opened the following September.  The log schoolhouse quickly outgrew its space and by 1895 a new schoolhouse was needed.  During the Fall of 1895 and spring of 1896 the little red school house was constructed.  State of the art when completed in 1896 with room for 40 students, double desks, barrel heater and separate outhouses for boys and girls.  38 students enrolled that fall and the school remained in continuous operation until 1958.  From 1960 to 1973 the old schoolhouse was a private residence and then abandoned until 1980 when then principal Mr. Richard Eccles had the building skidded to it's current location and stabilized.  In 1994 principal Barry Sale spearheaded the final refurbishing and refinishing of the little red schoolhouse and now welcomes students from around the district and summer travelers along the Cariboo Goldrush Highway to travel back in time by stepping through our doors.
