The Echo School, located at 3441 S. Echo Rd., in Echo, Utah is a historic two-room schoolhouse that was built in 1914 and used as a school into the 1940s. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997. ^{[1] [2]}

It's a one-story building with a hipped roof in a rural setting. The building was moved to make way for a highway developed in 1955; it was then placed on a concrete foundation and otherwise improved. It was then used for community functions and as a Veterans of Foreign Wars meeting hall. It was used less in those ways from about 1970 on. ^[2]

It was deemed significant in 1997 as Echo's only surviving purpose-built school. ^[2]
