School Histories
School histories can be a great help to genealogist. They also provide insight into the importance early settlers placed on free public education.
Currently, the Stevens Point Public School District has all of its 4th grade students attend a half day in our Hie Corner one room school house. In Wisconsin 4th graders study Wisconsin history. A new curriculum beginning in 2002-03 will have 3rd graders studying Portage County history.
Our most complete collection of one room school histories is from Belmont Township contained in History and Memories by Wayne A Guyant. Abbreviated histories of these schools will appear on this page in the future.
Some school histories are included with the Church Histories.
