History

The name of the district is taken from two separate school districts that later merged; named for Mr. Hiram Puffer, who founded the first school in the area in the 1870s, and Mr. Charles Reeths. The first school building that was part of what would eventually become the Puffer School district was built in the 1870s by Hiram Puffer who then taught at the school. In 1925 this original structure was replaced by a brick building. Two additional schools, the Pillon and Baxter School buildings, were built in the early 1900s. In 1903 children began being taught in a new building that was named the Reeths School in honor of Charles Reeths who served on the school board and had 11 children who attended the district. The Reeths District continued to expand and on November 29, 1946 the Reeths and Puffer districts were merged. In the fall of 1958, Reeths-Puffer Schools opened its doors to its first full year as a kindergarten through 12th grade school, with an enrollment of 1,123. [4]
