Although education in one room schoolhouses was a part of pioneer living, it continued in rural areas even to modern times. Palestine School, the last one room school district (grades 1-8) in Wisconsin, operated until June 1970.

The schools history began with the area's first settler, A.R. Hinkley who gave the land for the first schoolhouse on this site. The original structure was of logs, circa 1846. A second building of frame construction replaced it in 1854, and the present brick school was erected in 1928.

The educational facility served as a kindergarten classroom for the Eagle Elementary School into the 1980s.
