ATLANTA, DIST. 147 SPERIOR


In 1885, a subscription school was opened over a drug store in Atlanta with Miss May Kinley as teacher. The next year Miss Anna Primrose taught a subscription school in the Methodist Church on the present vacant lot north of the Ed Duncan home.


A school district was organized in 1887 and the building was located on the present site. Miss Stanberry and an assisting student taught the first public school in Atlanta. In 1901 a two-story frame building was built. This served for both the grades and the high school until a rural high school was built. The grade school occupied the building until 1929 when the present building was completed.


For the past two years the following teachers have been employed: Alice Shockey, Grades 5-6; Manila DeFore, Grades 3-4; and Mrs. Hazel Elfman, Grades 1-2. The present members of the school board are: Mrs. Anna Jones, Roy Houser, and H. M. Critchlow.
