Around 1895 the first Fedora village school was the Root School located in section 9 later moved to section 10. In 1905 a new two story wood school was built and used for grades one through ten located two blocks south of this marker on the west side of the road. The school was consolidated May 15, 1914. July 1915 Fedora voted twenty thousand dollars for a new brick school built three blocks south of this marker on the west side of the road. The first classes were held January 21, 1916. Enrollment was fifteen boys and eight girls in high school and forty nine boys and fifty girls in the grades. The first graduating class was in 1918.
The upstairs of the Fedora State Bank building was used for some of the school activities until the Fedora Community Hall was built in 1924 in the extreme northeast quarter section 9. The first alumni banquet was 1938 and has been held annually since. The high school closed in 1966 and the grade school in 1970.
