Education

Education in this rural area began in 1902, when a two-room school was established on Emil Helm’s farm 1.5 miles northwest. Henry Kriegel, one of the first trustees, chose the name “Sweet Home.” In 1922, the school was moved to a better-equipped two-room building on this site, on a 2-acre tract donated by John Simecek, a farmer and banker who served the longest term as school trustee from 1922 to 1944. A teacherage was added in 1928, and a cellar in 1930. Sweet Home School closed in 1944, and today only the cellar remains at the location.
