Tetonia School served the north end of Teton Valley, where nineteen communities once had schools before consolidation centered education in Tetonia, Driggs, and Victor. Tetonia's town site was officially recorded on November 3, 1910, and with the arrival of the Oregon Short Line Railroad, the nearby town of Haden, one and half miles west, was dismantled and moved to Tetonia. A yellow brick school building with three rooms was begun and intended for completion in the fall of 1913, but by January 1914 only one room was finished, and all eight grades were taught together there by one teacher, Mr. Hunter. A second room was ready by the fall of 1914, and the third was not finished until the fall of 1919, allowing three grades in each of two rooms and two grades in the third; another classroom was later added upstairs. The schoolhouse had electricity and coal wood burning stoves in each classroom, but no indoor plumbing, using outdoor restrooms and drinking water pumped from a recently dug well, with blackboards, a few maps, and very few books. In September 1935 the school temporarily closed for remodeling, including a larger basement, a new furnace, and indoor restrooms, while classes met in Hastings Drugstore, later known as Rammells Store. As enrollment grew, the old Richvale schoolhouse, closed in 1944, was moved to Teutonic for overflow use from 1946 to 1948. School patrons then chose to build a new Tetonia School, students moved into it in the fall of 1951, and the old yellow brick building was torn down in 1953.
