From the time when kids had to walk uphill both way to school. There was dozens of country schools across the county ensuring that no kid had to walk more than 3 miles
The Yuma County School project set out to locate and mark as many of these schools as possible Anyone wanting more information can stop into the Wray Museum
Due to the decrease in student numbers districts 44, 45, 77, 80 & 102 joined together in 1951 to form Armel Consolidated. The District built a new brick building with 3 class rooms, indoor bathrooms, a gymnasiuam with a stage plus a kitchen for hot lunches. The school ran through 1965
