At the heart of the Beaver Creek School campus stands a small rock building.
Several classroom and administrative buildings stand around it but the old rock schoolhouse used to be all there was to the school.
While the school is small, the classes were even smaller back in 1932 when the rock building was built.
Now people in the community are looking to preserve the building, which is in need of repairs.
There’s a lot of relatively recent construction at the school.
The construction was funded by a $3.2 million bond approved by voters in 2009 and included new offices and a library in addition to the cafeteria and auditorium, or “cafetorium” as the school’s employees call it.
Solar panels are installed over the parking lot.
The old kitchen is often used in conjunction with a local food bank program.
