A 10 x 12 foot shack was converted by city officials to become the first school in the sparsely populated town of Whittier. Georgia Freeman presided as school marm. A railroad spur line did not connect Whittier with Los Angeles until 1887, stimulating rapid growth thereafter.

This school lasted only two years before the new Evergreen School building was completed.
