History
The earliest available records for Bear Canyon School District 4948 show a school term beginning September, 1947 with eleven students under Mrs. Dolly Travers, Supervisor. Surnames of students were Krantz, Travers, Wongstedt, and Vanhooren. Student attendance was recorded only until the end of January, 1948 for that school year. The Bear Canyon School was built in 1949, opening in 1950 with Miss Isobel Berg, supervisor. In 1958, the consolidated district of Clear River was formed and in 1959 a new school west of the Bear Canyon store was built. The older children went to Bear Canyon and the younger children went to Cherry Point for a year and then were all moved into the new school in 1960. The other schools were moved to the site to be used as teacherages. In 1960, Fairview School Division took over responsibility for this district.
