Administrative history
Preston Lake School District was organized in 1931 for an area north of the Steeprock District and south of the proposed Aldergrove School District beween Hythe and the BC border.The first classes were taught in a settler’s home in 1931, with Mrs. Light as the teacher. Community members agreed to build a new school in 1932. A frame building was decided upon and settlers were given the option to work off their school taxes at a rate of $3.00 per day for a man and team or $2.00 per day for a man. The school opened that fall without any debts. Mrs. Ed Bolt was a teacher in the new school for several years. Preston Lake School was closed in 1955 and the students were bussed to Lambert School. In 1960, when Lambert School closed, the students were then bussed to Hythe.
