.
On May 3, 1919, the first meeting was held about building a school. There were seven school-age children in the district. The first school was built in 1919 but no teacher was hired until 1921. The original name of the school was Holland, but it was changed to Armley at a meeting held on Jan.24, 1920. The school was located on SE 29-48-14-W2.

In the mid 1920's the teacher was asked to buy treats and Christmas decorations but not to spend more than $10.00.

The school yell was:

Boom-a-lacka, Boom-a-lacka
Check-a-lacka chow.
Armley! Armley! Wow! Wow!Wow!
Are we in it? Well I guess!
Armley, Armley. Yes! Yes! Yes!


The school closed in 1960.
