Administrative history
Rocky Buttes School District #4020 was established in 1921, named after a ridge of rocky hills just east of the school site. A bylaw was passed the following year confirming that the school house could be used for social or other purposes upon payment of a $10 deposit, “... to be retained until the said Person or Persons have cleaned up and repaired all damage done to school to Satisfaction of Board”. The original building burned down in 1935 and was replaced with the old Queenstown Bank building, and in 1938 Rocky Buttes became part of Bow Valley School Division, subdivision 5. In June of 1940, after some months of concern over the “welfare of the District”, a motion was passed to “acquire a school van and competent driver”, to be used to take the Rocky Buttes students to school in Milo beginning the next September. In 1941, the building was moved to East Majorville School, where it was used as the teacherage for several years.
