History:

The first school of which we can get any record was taught by a Mr. Ellmore at a very early day, in Squire Williams' barn. He stayed a great deal at Mr. Williams, making it a kind of home, and while there, taught this school, which is supposed to be the first in the township, and among the first taught in the county. The first schoolhouse in the town was built in the neighborhood or Mr. Hall's, years ago, so long that the site is forgotten. Hosher built a log schoolhouse at Germantown in 1851 which, after being used many years, was replaced by the present frame building, the best schoolhouse in the township, in 1876, and cost $1,000.

In 1878, there were 324 male and female students attending school in all of Worth Township. There were four male and two female teachers. They were paid a grand total of $1,600 for the school year.

The original 1876 structure went through several modifications over the years. A basement was added and a hot lunch program instituted. A four-room frame addition was put on in 1940.
