Bower's Lake School was a one‑room country school located north of Juanita. It is now Darrel Otto's shop.
In 1914, the Dewey District Consolidated School was built‑ a wooden structure with four rooms, the two rooms in the basement serving as classrooms for the seventh‑eighth grades and the high school. This school was replaced by a modern brick building in 1927. Now it serves as a granary and machine storage shop for Stangelands.
Ida Burns (Mrs. Lloyd Nelson) and Jessie Lauder were the first teachers in the consolidated school. Orin Brewer is remembered by many early students as a principal, a very fine teacher, and one who served many years in McHenry and Juanita schools, as well as in many other North Dakota schools. The first high school graduates were Esther Potter Luttschwager, Ardath Moore Anderson, and Roberta Moore Franzen. They had the chance to study French one year and were very proud to display their knowledge of this language.
Buses were put on, and Mullendore is mentioned as one of the bus drivers; John Miller from McHenry, was another‑ he picked up the Jim McDaniel children when they lived east of Juanita.
