The present Lorane Elementary School was built in the early 1920s, and later consolidated several smaller schools in the valley including the Letz Creek School, the Green Door School, the Cartwright School and the Lone Cedar School. The school was built in the shape of a “U” with four classrooms, a library, a health room and two restrooms surrounding an open play shed on three sides. The play shed, at first, had a dirt floor and the back wall was wire screening. Wooden flooring for the playshed was added in 1950. This play shed encompassed the area now used as the library, auditorium, and store room. In the beginning, the library was located in the present office.
