Platte # 9, Prairie Star school is located in the north east corner of section 31.  The original school was 1/2 mile east of this site. The original school was moved by mule teams to a location just south of the present school.  The old school burned sometime before 1923 and a new school with a basement was built and is still at that location today. Irene (Mrs. Raymond Francis) put a new roof on the school a few years ago and the Tripp family has given the school house new windows and siding.
