A minister attempted to convert the school into a private residence two years after the school’s closure but was unsuccessful in his attempts due to local zoning code. Caesar Creek is currently for sale.

Mrs Bartley was my 1st grade teacher I also had Mrs Darding, Mrs. Beam and Mr.Northup for 5th grade I would have went to Spring valley but we moved away! I would have graduated in 1973. I was looking for class pictures of those years I was there. I remember having them taken. My name was Charlotte Engle. I loved linging in that area growing up it reminds me of Little House on the Prairie.
I attended Caesarcreek from approximately 1952-1957. It was just a 2 room schoolhouse with outside toilets when I started. I still have a plate with a outline of the old building. They were sold as part of the fund raising activities for the new addition. I would love to have a picture of the old building. I have many memories of those days. It always surprises my co-workers to learn that I actually started out in a country schoolhouse. They liken it to Little House on the Prairie.
I went to Caesar creek elementary school in 1970-71 – it had 100 students K thru 5. The principle was Mr. Rose who also taught 5 the grade. Miss La Salle taught music. We had 6 kids in band. There were 6 girls and 5 boys in the 5th grade. After it closed we were bussed to Spring Valley Elementary in 6 th grade.
