Highland School - District No. 9 - Fowler Township

Highland School was organized March 16, 1886, and disorganized at the end of the term of 1938-39, at which time the school closed and the students were sent to Fowler. We don't know a lot about this school, it was well attended and stayed in the same location all through the years, but we do not have any photos of the school building. 

Highland was located four miles south and one mile east of Fowler in the NE/4 of the NW/4 of section 29-R26-T31
