DIXIELAND SCHOOL
100 YEARS OF EDUCATION
OCTOBER 1913-2013


In February of 1913 residents of the Dixieland farming district realized the needfor a local school. They petitioned the county and the resulting school was named Munich, which came from a group of residents who migrated here from the town of Munich in the Dakotas. In 1917, during World War I, public sentiment convinced the community to rename the school "Dixieland." The small schoolhouse became the social nucleus of the neighborhood. The women's club met here, monthly dances complete with bands were hosted, and people came from surrounding areas to attend the Christmas festivities. Today the school continues as the centerpiece of the community.
