History

The first Keyes School was organized in 1905 when the sixteen families living in the area asked the county to establish a school here so their children would not have to travel six miles for classes. The first teacher at Keyes School was Rose McGarr, who was paid only $65.00 a month! In the early 1900’s, Keyes was known as an essential railroad stop. As much as 1,800 carloads of melons were shipped through Keyes each year. Around 1910, a creamery, grocery store, and church had been built to go along with the new school.
The Keyes Parent-Teacher club was formed in 1925 and still exists today. About that same year, the community decided the old school building was too small, so a new school was built across the street. The second Keyes School lasted until 1956 when our current school was built.

Keyes Elementary School was bursting at the seams with our K-8 students. To accommodate our growing population we opened Barbara Spratling Middle School in January 2002 to serve our 6-8th-grade students while Keyes Elementary continued to serve our TK-5 students.
Finally, in April of 2017, we opened the Keyes Union School District Office which houses the Superintendent and Business Office.
