This was the name of the school that was located in the village of Frankburg, a Mormon agricultural community.
Named for Christopher Frank who came to the area from Utah with his brother in 1902. The village had a church, a school and a post office. The school was large by comparison and it was complete with belfry and a bell.
The original school was moved away and used as a barn, It was replaced by a new school in 1916 but was destroyed by fire shortly after being built. A third school was closed in 1944 and moved into Cayley.
Most of the original Mormon pioneers had moved away by 1930 due to poor growing conditions, poor grain prices and an unseasonal summer frost. Today, the only reminders are the Frankland School sign and the Frankburg Cemetery to the South of the school sign. It is worthwhile to stop and read the sign as you travel to/from the Arthur School cache.
The Frank name is also attached to Frank Lake which is south of Highway 23 and to the west of this school sign.
