In 1907, a one-room log school was built in this settlement on the east side of the Lower Arrow Lake north of Castlegar with 10 pupils attending classes. In 1912, Mennonite settlers moved into the area farms and built a new school which had a steeple bell. This building was demolished when B.C. Hydro bought out properties along Arrow Lakes for construction of the Hugh Keenleyside Dam.
The steeple bell was saved and it is now housed at Robson Elementary.
In 1952, a modern school was constructed and the 1912 school was converted to a community hall. This school was sold to a private individual and moved to a different locale in preparation for the construction of the dam.
