Administrative history
South Slope School Division was formed in 1917, and its first school opened in the home of Eli Barrett with Mrs. Duncan Cameron as teacher. A one-room school was built in 1919, and a second classroom opened in a local business in 1936. A new two-room school, financed by debentures, was built in 1939, and used with the old school as a third classroom. In 1946, two more classrooms, a library and a science lab were added to the existing school and the old school was converted to a teacherage. In the early 1950s, some small schools in the area (Heart Valley, West Vale, Mersey and Peoria), were closed and South Slope again expanded. In 1955, a new school was constructed north of South Slope and was just called the Wanham School. Under centralization, a new high school was built in Spirit River, and in 1998, the Wanham School was closed.
Custodial history

Scope and content
