In 1910, the settlers at Lower Beaverlodge petitioned the government to form a school district for their children. The Lower Beaverlodge School District #2812 was formed in 1912, the second in the Grande Prairie area. That same year a notched log school was built on the SE ¼ -16-71-9 W6th, 7 miles southeast of the community of Beaverlodge, by Billy Johnson. The total cost was $125.00. J.W. Wilkie was hired as the first teacher in September 1913 for $600 per year, plus $20.00 for lighting fires. From 1924-1927, the Board made agreements with Mountain Trail School District 4071 and Two Rivers School District 3497 to educate the children residing in those districts until they had enough to have their own schools open, and in 1929 they began planning for a consolidated high school at Beaverlodge. In 1930, an influx of settlers created demand for a new school in the area, a new site for Lower Beaverlodge, and a change in boundaries, which caused a great deal of controversy. The school was closed under consolidation in the 50s, and was moved to a park in Beaverlodge. The board participated in different programs to give the students the best education possible in a one-room school including a School Fair sponsored by the Provincial School of Agriculture in Vermilion, Junior Red Cross clubs sponsored by the Canadian Red Cross Society, Sports Days supported by the Alberta Branch of the Amateur Athletic Union of Canada, and a membership in the Canadian Geographical Society.
The schools were also used as for church services and as community centers. The Lower Beaverlodge School was the polling station for all provincial and federal elections, and the Halcourt School served at least once as a medical clinic. In 1930 children from the Lower Beaverlodge School congregated at the Halcourt School, where a team of doctors, nurses, and dentists did removals of tonsils and adenoids ($15.00/child) and teeth ($1.00/tooth) as required.
