The Rapp School District No. 50 was organized in 1870, and the children attended classes in a 18 x 26 wood building. This fine red-brick one-room schoolhouse was constructed in 1929, and served until 1959. The schoolhouse had a full basement with a coal furnace, separate cloakrooms for boys and girls, and about forty desks. A marker on the east side of the schoolhouse provides some history. The building is currently maintaiend by the Rapp School Preservation Association.
