Cordova Schools













Cordova Grade School in 1905
Larger Image
The year 1863 marked the building of the Cordova Grade School; a school which housed all grades. The school was the pride of the community and was a four room, two storied stone building located in the 200 block of 11th Street. The upper floor housed the high school which was a two-year school.

Students in grades one through four attended the "little" room and grades five through eight attended the "big" room.
