The Fairview School House was one of the largest pioneer schools in Kiowa County. Constructed in 1903, it was a one-room school until 1916 when another room was added. It was located on R. W. and Alice Henderson's land in the northwest corner of Section 17 Township 4 Range 16. The school was transferred to Roosevelt School property in town when the prairie schools consolidated to Roosevelt High School.
