Silver Valley

Silver Flats School District was formed through the effort of homesteaders in the Silver Valley District, on 81-10-W6. Portions of this area were opened under the Lassiter Land Clearing Project for the Veterans Land Act, after World War II.

Although the register shows that classes began in September 1955, with only the Friesen and O.A. Rockwood children registered, the school did not actually open until April 9, 1956. At this time, the N.C. Smith, W.A. Reay, E.O. Frostad, E.M. Derksen, and J. Seekins families were added to the roll. Dorothy Smith was the first teacher in the new school.
