The Schallenberger School was built in 1866 for approximately $1,700. The building was a two-room structure, each room being 20" by 30" with 15' ceilings. The first teacher at Schallenberger was Ann Fuirtee who received $100 per month salary.

All pictures and much of the text for the Orchard School History pages were borrowed from the book, Orchard School: A Narrative History, written by Richard Keller.
