The first classes were held in Mills Valley in 1887 in one room of Wesley Marrs' sod house with H.M. Pickney as teacher. A frame building was put up in 1892. When a road was made through the Valley in 1911 the school building was moved five miles north west of Arnold , here it stood until 1957 when it was sold and moved into town.
