It had 2 classrooms [and] 3 teachers. The small building to the right contained a generator that supplied electricity to the school and to the teacherage, a duplex which housed the teachers in a "bed sitter" apartment and a 2 bedroom apartment. The school also had a well, but no running water. The building was not earthquake proof and the roof leaked. This was the central focal point of the community. Grades 1 8. Until 1962 no one had gone to high school. That year the first group of students completed 8th grade and many of them chose to go onto Mt. Edgecumbe.
