Before the first Sheyenne school was built, classes in 1886 were held in a sod house, but soon a wood-frame building was built west of the Sheyenne's railroad tracks. The first school in Sheyenne was moved to Richter Avenue, and when it became too small, it became the office for the Sheyenne Star newspaper. In 1897, a two-story schoolhouse was built, and the first floor could be used for school purposes only, whereas the second floor could be used for meetings and church services. In 1898, school was closed for two weeks due to an outbreak of [[scarlet fever]] and [[measles]]. In the first months of 1903, many pupils left the Sheyenne school to attend [[Scandinavia]]n Studies in Greenfield Township. In April 1903, school was prohibited due to a [[smallpox]] outbreak. In 1908, a new school was built on the eastern side of Sheyenne and in 1930, an addition was made to the two-story brick building. In the late 1950s, it was decided to add on once again. While the project was in progress, the Ostby Hall and [[Grace Lutheran Church Sheyenne, ND|Grace Lutheran Church]] were used as overflow classrooms. In 1962, the project was completed. The Sheyenne High School lasted for 99 years until the spring of 2007, when it closed for its pupils. Today, most children living in and around Sheyenne attend school in nearby [[New Rockford, North Dakota|New Rockford]] because Sheyenne is part of the [[New Rockford-Sheyenne Public School]].
