Editing Miami County, Kansas (section)

==Education==
At one time in its history, Miami County had more than 100 schools. While most of those school buildings either no longer exist, or have been vacant for many years, the Rock Creek School at 231st & Pressonville, a one-room schoolhouse built in 1910, was used as a school until 1966. The residents near it in the northwest corner of Miami County, purchased the red brick schoolhouse from the school district for $1. Today, the schoolhouse is still used as a township hall to hold meetings, suppers, and other community events.<ref name="LJW">{{Cite web|url=http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2010/apr/28/residents-celebrate-100th-anniversary-rock-creek-s/|title=Residents Celebrate 100th Anniversary of Rock Creek School|access-date=May 15, 2012|publisher=LJWorld.com}}</ref>
