The Durham Education Center, now Creekside Community High School, takes its roots to the Durham School established in 1920.[6]
The historic 1920 schoolhouse comes as a rebuild from its original model constructed in 1889 which, as described by early alumnus Fred Olson, contained four components: the main single room building, woodshed, "and two 4’x4’ smaller structures at opposite corners of the yard."[7]
