Lewis Lake School District #3400
LEWIS LAKE School District #3400 History, Teacher and Pupil Listing The district was named Lewis Lake from a lake situated on the N.W. 1/4 of 20, 40, 18, 2 and partly on S.W. 1/4 of 29, 40, 18, 2 which is land presently owned by Alex Neish. The school was to have been built on this land, but a greater percentage of children lived to the northwest, so it was built on the S.E. 1/4 of Sec. 36, 40, 19, 2, which is land now owned by Reigh Long.

At the annual meeting in February of 1950, it was decided to build a new school. This was done during the summer of 1950. The old school was purchased by Lester Weseen and was renovated into a house which is presently situated on the Burton Gilbertson farm. School continued until about the end of the 1962 term. A bus route was then started up to take the children to the Naicam schools. The first bus driver was Launce Hawkins. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
