Oshkosh school soon had outgrown its quarters. The eleven grades needed more room so a commodious brick building was erected in 1914, giving ample space to accommodate the school for some years to come. But now, 1920, that building is filled to its full capacity, employing seven teachers for the pupils of the first eight grades. The teachers are: Nellie Coffin, Superintendent, Kate Waters, Mrs. G. M. Robison. Beulah Wilson, Edith Miles, Mrs. Harriet Hall and Fannie Matson.
The first school in Lisco was held in a room over the Lisco Mercantile Company store, during the year 1909-10. It was a private school supported by the few residents of Lisco. There were fourteen pupils enrolled with Jessie Lee Colyer teacher. It was made a public school the following year with Miss Williams as teacher. The room over the store was used until 1911, when the present frame building was put up with two rooms and two teachers, Miss Goodmanson and Miss Davis. Last year,
1918, they were obliged to fit up a room over the Lisco Mercantile Company store again. In
1919, two rooms over the store were needed as the tenth and eleventh grades were added to the course. The teachers in Lisco at this time were Cora Felker. Principal, Eva Snider, Assistant, Mrs. R. O. Stevenson and Miss Lela Mosser.
