When Glencoe Mill opened in 1880, founder James H. Holt was ahead of most of his contemporaries in requiring that village children attend school for several months a year to the sixth grade, before they could work in the factory. The company built the school and hired the teachers. Originally, three female teachers taught two grades apiece in a wooden schoolhouse. By 1918 nearly 100 students attended the Glencoe School up to the eighth grade. The mill built a new brick school in 1937 across the road from the original location. Glencoe School closed along with the mill in 1962.
