Baird: a small district of about ten square miles sandwiched between Highland to the southwest and Gilbert to the northeast. By 1942, the Baird and Highland districts had been consolidated with classes taught at Baird. The next year taught at Highland where the majority of the school children lived. When closed, the schoolhouse was moved to the Highland Cemetery for tool storage.
