This was the third school district established in Big Valley, on the Lassen County side. The other two were Providence and Pleasant Butte. The Juniper School served the residents of the southern end of Big Valley. The district was established on November 5, 1877. On November 1, 1884, the voters of the district had two measures before them. One was for a school site and the other for a bond measure for $400 to construct the school. The bond measures were rejected and no site was determined. On April 14, 1888, an election was held to issue a $500 school bond measure and it was approved by all twelve voters. On August 27, 1889, Charles M. Kenyon donated one acre of land for the school and it was constructed. In 1924, the school closed for two years, for lack of students. Again in 1937-38, the school closed due to the decrease of students. It operated during 1939-40 with Reva Snell as the school’s last instructor. It then closed for a final time and annexed to the Bieber School District. The abandoned schoolhouse was sold on June 8, 1942, to Mike Roufs who tore it down and used the lumber to expand his mechanic shop in Bieber.
