The first, one-room Everett School - then District 112 - was located on the southwest corner of Waukegan and Old Mill roads. It was in use around the turn of the century. By 1912, it housed 30 pupils. The teachers were young, unmarried men or women not much older than some of their students. They would often board with the families of their pupils, alternating each week – although, as one recalled, “where the board especially pleased they stayed two or more weeks.”
In 1914 a new, two-room Everett School was built near Everett and Waukegan roads.
