Administrative history
The first meeting of the Board of the Clark School District was in February, 1932, with Mr. Quick elected chairman and H.A. Mattson elected secretary/treasurer. In June, 1932, a vote determined the postponing the building of a school for a year. In 1933 a site was selected on the NE --27-79-13-W6, and in 1934 David French was hired as teacher for $600 per annum. Although records show the school under construction during the next few years, a temporary building was rented in 1936. In 1937, Miss McNaught resigned as teacher and Mrs. Sadie Clark hired. Miss Wood was hired in 1940. In June, 1941 after a fire in the school, a vacant house on O. Gullberg's place was used as a temporary school. A new school was built from squared timbers Mr. Jack Lowe had not been able to use for a house. In 1945-46, due to a lack of a teacher, Jim Hodgeson transported students to Bonanza in the back of his truck or by sleigh in winter. Clark school was permanently closed in 1955 and students bussed to Bonanza School.
Custodial history
