History

The Sac and Fox Settlement School was originally established as a Day School by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The school then became part of the South Tama County Community School District, and then closed in 1972. After application by the tribal members to the Bureau of Indian Education, the school re-opened in 1980 as a tribally operated school.[2]
