School had one room, and
       Bemjamin Pearce was the first schoolmaster
       Fire destroyed the school building in 1840

       Schoolhouse Road was gravel at the time, so the school was nicknamed “Gravel Hill Academy”

       When the new school was built in 1919, the old school building was moved to Rankin Farm on Rankin Road and used a barn
