The Harper School, District #56 in 1910, was established around 1900, and located about half way between Shields and Rockwood, on the Robert Milligan farm, a one-teacher school.  They continued to have school until 1914 when this district was consolidated with Concho Peak School when Concho Peak moved farther north of the Fowler farm and west of the Harper School.  Some of the teachers remembered at Harper were Miss Vesta Lewis, Ethel Hemphill, Henry Reynolds, Elma Maxwell, Mrs. Myrtie Milligan, and Alma Gardner.
