1896

Coalinga's first school opened with forty one students and two teachers. After 1908 and the opening of the Polk Street School, it is believed to have been converted to the local library. This school building still exists today as family housing.
There were earlier schools in the Warthan canyon, Los Gatos canyon and Jacalitos canyons. These schools were a one room class built on skids. The school was simply pulled by horse teams from year to year, depending on the greatest good or need.
