History

Stirling School 1902, demolished 1957

Prior to 1902 school was held in the L.D.S Church next to the school grounds. In 1901 plans were drawn up to create the Galt School District No. 647. In 1902 a large two story brick school house was built made completely out of bricks baked from Kipp Coulee creek in Stirling. On a cold day in 1934 the top floor was claimed by fire. It was said to be caused by a chimney fire. For the duration of the renovations students were sent to the Ogden House at 441-4th street until the second floor was rebuilt. In the early 1950s the original brick building became to small for the growing student population and was then condemned and replaced in 1957 with a modern building sitting on the original location of the first L.D.S. Church.
