Settlers began arriving in southeast Saskatchewan in
1882. The first school south of the Moose Mountains
was built in 1887, about a mile north of where
Arcola later came to be. It was built on land
donated by Willard Scarrow and was named “Clair.”
“The settlers took logs out and built the school
gratis. The Northwest Government supplied money to
buy lumber for windows, doors and floors. They also
supplied maps and a blackboard.”
Trace the history of southeast Saskatchewan’s | education through pictures and the real life
accounts of teachers and students. Some of these
teachers taught in a one-room country school while
others teach in our modern education system. This
exhibit holds over 100 years of education.
