Linda Slaughter established Bismarck’s first school in  September 1873 inside the Congressional Church, which was located on the southwest corner of Thayer Avenue and Sixth Street. The township took over the school the following year, establishing Bismarck’s first public school.

The school remained housed inside the Congressional Church until 1877, when it temporarily relocated to the Dunn’s residence at 208 Third Street. The city’s first schoolhouse, a 2-room brick building, was erected the following year at the intersection of Rosser Avenue and Fifth Street.
