The Cranberry School stood directly across the road from this location, with its original bell hung in a tower on the southwest corner and rung each day to begin school and call children in from recess. Anton DeCurtins built the school in 1904, and it measured 36 feet wide, 50 feet long, and 30 feet tall with a tower, a red tile roof, a basement, and a steam furnace, features that made it one of the most handsome and best-appointed school buildings in the county at the time. The front entrance faced west. Electricity was installed in July of 1923. Originally, grades one through eight were taught in the one-room schoolhouse, but in 1938, when the Cranberry and Quinter schools were combined, it was remodeled into a two-room schoolhouse, with grades one through four on one side and grades five through eight on the other. A teacher’s house and a bus garage also stood next to the school. The school remained in operation until the 1960-61 school year, when it was annexed to St. Henry Schools, and it closed after the new St. Henry elementary school was completed and ready for classes in September of 1961. At 2:00 p.m. on January 18, 1962, the school was sold at auction for six hundred dollars to Henry J. Vogelpohl, a representative of the Catholic Church of Cincinnati, Ohio. The building was then used as a warehouse for Robert E. Bruns Construction Co. until it was dismantled so the bricks could be reused. Before the school was dismantled in 1972, Ray Stachler removed the bell and kept it for more than thirty years, after which the family of George Watercutter purchased it from his estate auction and donated it back to the parish, where it is now displayed in front of the church. The only other piece of the school still in Cranberry is one of the original chalkboards, now in the home of Meradella Schwieterman.
