A brief synopsis of the school chapter from the Cupar 1954-1955 booklet follows.

To the north west the 1954 map shows WILEY 2340, to the north east are MARIGOLD SD 4807 (1923), FOX HILLS SD 140 (1928), to the south are GLEN MURRAY SD 4496 (1940) and DALRYMPLE SD 524 (1902) and finally to the east is DELWOOD SD 4668. HARRINGTON school district 972 became the first school in the community established when the area was still part of the North-West Territories. In 1904, one acre of land was bought on the north east corner of section 12 township 23 range 17. The town of Cupar was situated on the north west corner of section 8 township 23 range 16 west of the second meridian. The construction and style of the school house is described along with some materials for the class room such as maps, school register, hand ball, teacher's desk and chair etc. The booklet lists Miss Christine Cameron as the first teacher. The school building was allocated for church services. In 1907, the school name changed from HARRINGTON to CUPAR SCHOOL DISTRICT. At this time the schoolhouse was moved into the village of Cupar on lot 11, block 6. That summer, a brick two storey school building was needed. By 1920, a new public school ws erected, and the high school was expanded upon.

The students who attended Cupar School in 1918 were listed along with Fred Trafford and J. N. Smith the van drivers. Cupar Consolidated School District had four van routes, which expanded to seven. Cupar absorbed FOX HILLS, MARIGOLD, GLEN MURRAY, DALRYMPLE, and CUPAR.

The authors of the CUPAR historical booklet delved into LITTLE TOUCHWOOD SCHOOL, which had its beginnings in 1910, and a schoolhouse went up the following year. Alice Meehan became the first teacher. LITTLE TOUCHWOOD met with flames in 1951 and was burned to the ground. The community replaced the school.
DALRYMPLE SCHOOL was erected in 1900, and classes began in April of 1901. The first class pupils are listed who started with Miss A. Meehan - the teacher. This log school house was replaced by a brick school in the 1920s.

MARIGOLD SCHOOL went up in 1929, and opened in 1930. The students were conveyed to Cupar in 1953 when MARIGOLD shut its doors. MARIGOLD began under two teachers, Mr. Hunt, and Mr. Wood. The schoolhouse was re-locatd to the KELLIHER district as a school there.

FOX HILLS had its beginnings in 1910, with classes starting in 1911. FOX HILLS also closed in 1953. Teachers and Trustees are listed.

Saskatchewan Golden Jubilee School Histories 1905-1955 "Since the pupils of our schools should have an active part in celebrating Saskatchewan's Golden Jubilee, the Department of Education, in partnership with the Saskatchewan Teacher's Federation, has planned a social studies unit to make this participation possible." -Department of Education to all schools in the province of Saskatchewan 1944-1945 school year. An outline was sent out, not to be adhered to precisely, but rather used as a guide to follow in order to set out an illustrated and written booklet regarding the history of the school community. All pupils, where possible are encouraged to partake in the project, and the teacher should encourage an student editor to coordinate the several aspects and turnings of the project. Those in the class should return to the appointed editor with interviews of individuals in the community, maps and charts draswn up, and stories written of the history in the area. The teachers were briefed as to which aspects of the standard course curriculum in social studies could be omitted to allow for time to be allocated in school for the historical booklet research. When the booklet is finished the aim is to display the finished result at exhibitions, libraries or other centres for viewing. It was thought that the local newspapers or the community board of trade may desire to use portions of the completed historical booklet in print.
