This page is a history and demographic of the early schools of Hall County, Nebraska.
Brief History of the School District No. 80
Upon October 12, 1901, Fred Stolley filed a petition with the county superintendent, asking that all land situated between the south channel and the north bank of the middle channel of the Platte River, now in District Number 28 be set out and formed in a district known as District No. 80. That "if said petition should be granted that it be done upon the condition that if at any time there is no need for a school in said newly
formed district, the land shall fall back to district twenty-eight."
This new district was the last regularly formed district in Hall County, and at the opening of the year 1919 was running under the direction of its original board, Fred Stolley, Grand Island, Mrs. A. Schimmer, Grand Island, and Julius Peters, Grand Island.
