This school was established in 1885, two miles north of the town of Pearlette. It was said to have been disorganized in 1899, but we have a teacher listed in 1904. It eventually became part of District #37, but disappeared early on in Meade County history.
The schoolhouse was on J.C. Clark land. This school may have been a sod house.

This old 1886 map clearly shows a Dist. #24 school in the NW/4 of Sec 15-T30-R27, the green dotted line indicates the school district.
This cut of the 1909 Meade County Plat Book does not even show the school or District 24.
This cut of a modern-day map shows the school and the town of Pearlette in relation to Fowler and other schools in the area.
