EAST LAKE SCHOOL


(Picture unavailable. Unless someone out there has one ???)



The East Lake School District was formed before 1881.


The school district included parts of Burns Valley, Fairview School District, Welden Valley, all of the Sulphur Bank Mine Property, and the present Clearlake Oaks.
The original East Lake School was never a true schoolhouse, but a three story private dwelling, called the Johnson house, which was turned into a building for school purposes. A regular schoolhouse was later built on the old road from Sulphur Bank Mine to Welden Valley.    In 1881 it had 14 students. After a few years the school burned and was never rebuilt.

East Lake District lapsed in 1904 and went back into the Sulphur Banks School District. In 1931 Sulphur Banks District ceased and it became the East Lake District. When the East Lake District was reopened, a small school was built at the site of the present Clearlake Oaks Grammar School. This building was used for 10 years or so until a new, larger school was built on the west side of High Valley Road & Highway 20 junction. When the little school was abandoned, it was moved and became the office of Stubbs Real Estate. It now is part of the Shannon Ridge winery. In 1959 another new school was built where the little school had once stood, and the previous school was sold to the East Lake Grange.

(Board of Education minutes: December 10, 1908 - "As the East Lake School District has lapsed, the furniture, etc. was divided between the Lower Lake and Sulphur Bank School Districts".)
