On February 7, 1916, the Lucerne School District was established at a special meeting of the Lassen County Board of Supervisors. It, along with the Glade School District, were the two last rural school districts created in Lassen County. Shortly thereafter a school house was constructed about three miles north of Doyle. The school closed in 1925. At that time the Board of Supervisors authorized the sale of the building—asking price $50. But no buyers came forward. The school house was destroyed in a August 1926 forest fire that also destroyed the ranches of Arent, Downing and Wagner.
