The first public school in the Village of Armada was a wooden building on South Fulton Street just north of Torrey Street. It looked like a barn and was made of perpendicular slabs spiked to a wooden frame. A Miss Day from Massachusetts and George Lathrop were the first teachers.
The second school building in the village was located west of Fulton and north of Main Street. This was a well-built frame building and painted white. However, the location was not satisfactory and it was moved in 1860 to a location on Prospect Street between North Fulton and Burk streets where it was used for 4 years after which it was sold, moved to Main Street and destroyed by fire.
In 1865 a public school was built on Burk Street which housed students from elementary through high school. Students outside the village district paid tuition to attend. This was a two-story brick square-looking building and for years was called "the brick school" and is now referred to as the "old brick school".
In 1929 a larger building was needed and the first brick school was torn down and the present brick building constructed. This school continued to house students from kindergarten through 12th grade.
In the late 1940?s and early 1950?s one-room country schools from the surrounding areas consolidated with the village school and more room was needed.
Another school was built on Armada Center Road and grades 8th through 12th moved into it in the 1950?s.
In the late 1970?s a new high school was built on Armada Center Road and the school built in 1929 housed grades kindergarten through fifth (and various pre-school classes) until this school year.
As of August 1999, the 1929 building now is home to the Armada School Administration.
