This will give you an idea of how old our school is. In 1826, Daniel Schenck, a solid citizen, saw the need of a school to teach the younger gener- ation of this community. He called a meeting of his neighbors and talked over the idea with them and they were of the same mind as he. Donating a pIOt of ground for the school, Mr. Schenck saw his ideas materialize in the form of a onewroom log school house. Mr. Hayden was the first teacher to teach the three R's in this log school. The community was, even then, fast growing and in a very short span of fourteen years, it had outgrown the small one room 10g school. A larg- er one room brick house was erected on the old site. In the meantime, Mr. Daniel Schenck, whom we might well call the father of our school , passed away, and did not get to see the larger, more adequate school finished. In 1871, the third one room school was erected on the originaI site. In 1907, the building and property were sold, and a new building was erected on the farm of Daniel Schenck, this oc- cupied the same site as does the present buiId- ings. This building was enlarged, but the people of Deer Park, Rossrnoyne, and Silverton saw still further improvement and enlargements were needed. So, all pulling together, the present building was erected in 1936. One hundred and fifteen years after what started out as a one room log cabin, we now have a modern school of well over fifty rooms, and plans for new additions are being complet- ed. This school of Deer Park has grown with the community, it has come far in the field of educa- tion, may it never fail to turn out the same brand of Solid Citizens , that it has in the past.
