CAMBRIDGE, DIST.15-STANDARD

School district No. 15 was moved in 1881 from a small town named Lazette which was north of Cambridge. Bonds had been voted in the summer of 1880 to erect a stone schoolhouse in Cambridge. The building was completed in the summer of 1881 and the first school term in the building was commenced in October 1881.

In 1917 this building was torn down and a grade and high school building was erected in its place. In 1927 school district 15 sold their interest in the building to the high school district and erected a two-room grade school building on the opposite side of the street. It now has the first six grades, two teachers and an enrollment of fifty-six pupils.

Edris Davis is the teacher of grades 4-6 and Gladys Jamison is the teacher for grades 1-3. The school board members are:
J. J. Benjamin, W. M. Harian, and J. N. Craft.
