Fawcett School opened in 1970 on Township Road (642A) as a rural school in a single story titanium building located on top of a concrete foundation. Fawcett School was K-9 school for many years that taught grades Kindergarden through 9th grade. After 9th grade, students would be transferred to Westlock to complete their high school education.
Around 100 students attended this school daily. Its peak point for student population was at 110 students. Student population never went past 200 students.
In 2014 during the 2014-2015 school year, the school closed and students continued their education in the town of Westlock. It was lack of enrollment that caused the school to close. While Fawcett School was closed, the school board tried to repurpose it. However that ultimately failed due to a lack of potential buyers. It fell victim of neglect shortly thereafter. Building infrastructure fell apart causing parts of Fawcett School to collapse in certain areas. Today the school is abandoned.
