The first
Spring Lake School was built in 1889. This school was used for 10 years and then
was converted into a home which was then bought and occupied by the Knox family.
A second Spring
Lake School was built in 1899. In 1915 the school was moved to a new location.
The school survived at its new resting place until it was completely destroyed
by a fire on the morning of September 26, 1921.
The third
Spring Lake School that was constructed had a modern frame with a Waterman
Waterbury furnace and an indoor toilet. Administration of Spring Lake School
was taken over by the Broadview School Unit in 1946. The country school
continued operation until 1959 when students began to be bused to Broadview for
their classes.
Spring Lake
School is still used for showers, card parties and the annual picnic which is
held at the end of June.
