In Quartzsite, Arizona, the story of the town's schools shows how much the people there care about education. A long time ago, they started with just a tent for a school. Teachers like Miss Edna Cundiff taught kids in this simple tent under a big bush. Then, a man named William Scott built a wooden schoolhouse, which was a big step up from the tent. This new school was used for many years.

But during World War II, the town almost had to close its only school because there weren't enough kids. Luckily, a family moved back to Quartzsite with enough children to keep the school open. After the war, the town worked hard to keep its school going, even when times were tough. They managed to build a new two-room schoolhouse, showing how committed they were to making sure kids could learn and grow.

Through all these changes, the people of Quartzsite showed they would do whatever it took to educate their children. From a tent to a wooden building to a modern schoolhouse, the story of Quartzsite's schools is all about the community coming together to make sure kids have a good place to learn.
