"BANGS PUBLIC SCHOOLS
The town of Bangs was established on the route of the Santa Fe Railroad, which deeded land to the city for a school. The first school building, a 2-room frame structure on the south side of the railroad tracks, was completed in 1892. Miss Clemie King was the first teacher; enrollment totaled 35 pupils. A new 2-story stone structure, built on the north side of the tracks in 1903, replaced the first building. Over the years the school system has grown and built additional facilities. Nine other area schools have consolidated with the Bangs school system since its founding. (1992)"
