The Cockerill School district No. 100 was in existence as early as 1882 according to data found in a Kansas History book published by A.T. Andreas, Chicago, in 1883.  First recorded information to be found as to teachers began in 1889 and first information on school census in 1909.  District No. 100 was then known as the Fairview School and it was contained in a one-room school building which stood north of the building known as the Rockin’ K Saloon.
