From Theresa Broeders
S.S.#7 Originally a common school built about 1840. According to Township minutes Michael O'Neil was trustee for S.S.#7 on Jan. 31, 1852. In 1873 the trustees of #7 were granted $200. to build a schoolhouse which was built in 1875.

In 1901 a separate school, and Seperate School section #7, was built beside the common school and both schools were in operation at the same time. On May 4 1908 the public school section was annulled and the building auctioned off.
All those public students west of teh line between 12 &13 concessions were to go to SS15 and all east of line to SS14.
