The Wray Museum with the support of the East Yuma County Historical Society has been working with community members and organizations in an effort to locate and gather information on schools throughout Yuma County. Area residents have been graciously providing locations, photos, and stories of schools.
Purpose: To gather and compile information of all the schools in Yuma County to preserve for future generations.
Goals: 1. Identify all of the schools, their locations, and years in service. 2.Compile a list of all students and teachers for each school. 3.Collect stories, photographs, memorabilia, and other documentations regarding school activities.
End Results: 1. Produce an updated map of school location with signage near school location and maintain public reference files for each school at the Wray Museum..

- We are asking anyone who attended school in Yuma County to fill out the Yuma County School Project Survey here. Feel free to fill the survey out multiple times as you remember or find more information. If possible, please upload photographs at 300 dpi. If you would like to volunteer to help gather and compile information, please contact the Wray Museum.
List of Schools in Yuma County, Colorado
When Colorado was just a territory, the county superintendent of schools had the authority to organize school districts. Learn more about forming and consolidating school districts. Below is a list of district numbers and names of Primary schools that once existed in Yuma County. Sometime neighboring counties would share a school district. Those have a "J" by the school name. The Yuma County High School had several branches. In addition to the county schools, there were also several Parochial Schools (PS) in Yuma County. The older newspaper also mention school that were not part of the County System. If a school name is underlined, click on it to see a brief summary and photographs on that school. Remember, each school has an extensive file at the Wray Museum. If you like more information please stop by the Wray Museum.
