About Garden City Public Schools

Description provided by the district or community — not part of the NCES dataset.

It is believed that the first school in what is now Garden City was a log cabin built sometime between 1840 and 1845. A one-room, frame school was erected circa 1847. Called the East Nankin School, it was used until the 1950s, although the original schoolhouse was rebuilt in 1910. About 1924, shortly after the beginning of Garden City, four other two-room frame school buildings were constructed. In 1929, a law was passed, creating a school district for the village of Garden City.
