    Sardis School Students in this area attended the Hughes School (2.1 mi. Ene) until 1917. That year, the W.R. Pickering Lumber Co. donated four acres to trustees C.L. Fowler, R.C. Hughes and R.C. Squyres for Sardis School No. 37. A schoolhouse was completed at this site by the end of the summer. The white frame structure included four rooms and housed grades 1-9. Students participated in athletics, including baseball, basketball and volleyball, and competed against other area schools. In 1956, the district closed the school, and students began traveling to campuses in nearby Center. The schoolhouse was torn down in the 1960s, but lessons learned here remain in the memories of area residents.
