District 71 was approved on November 29, 1902. The District schoolhouse was known as the Pahl school. It was located on the NW corner of SW1/2 of Section 27. The water had to be hauled to the school from a neighboring farm, The school closed during consolidation. An action was held February 1, 1954 and the building was moved to local farmsite in Section 28, across from the actual site of the school house. The building was used as a chicken house. Students were transported into Ruthton. In 2012 the schoolhouse still stands on Section 28 quarter mile south of school house location.
