History
The Upland School District was formed in February 1909 with the founding executive consisting of J.R. Stoney? - Chair, E. Hatfield - Secretary Treasurer, and Alfred J. Sanders - Trustee.
The trustees borrowed $1200 to build a 20' by 24' building. A site was chosen on the south-west corner of SW 22-21-26 (south of Chamberlain, west of Findlater and north of Buffalo Pound Lake). The date of completion is not known but an annual meeting of the Trustees was held in the schoolhouse on January 15, 1910. The first teacher is not known but Lettie Drope is listed as the teacher as of April 3, 1911.
The school was closed in 1953 and children attended Chamberlain School.
