- 1903-1970
In 1902, ratepayers in the Alameda district petitioned the Council of Public Instruction of the North-West Territories for the formation of a school district. The application was rejected due to too few children to receive the grant. In 1903, another meeting was held and another petition submitted. This application was approved.
Mayflower School District No. 866 was established on July 4, 1903. The school was built at 4-3-W2 in Alameda Rural Municipality No. 3, near Oxbow. The responsibilities of the district board included selecting and acquiring a school site; contracting the building of the school; furnishing and maintaining the school, school grounds, buildings, and equipment; engaging qualified teachers; providing books, globes, maps and other supplies to students and teachers; administering grants; settling disputes; and maintaining school records and accounts.
The school district became part of the Oxbow School Unit No. 1, June 14, 1945. It was disorganized and consolidated into the Alameda Town School District No. 330 on October 20, 1970.
