The first schoolteacher gave lessons at the Storter residence (now the Rod & Gun Club) in 1893. Two years later a schoolhouse was built at the mouth of the river but was destroyed in a storm; a second building was washed away in the 1910 hurricane, and another built at its present location. The high school opened in 1926 with one student graduating that year. In 1996 Collier County built a new Everglades City School building which includes grades pre-K through grade 12.
