The Sites school was a one-room frame building owned by the Ashby District School Board and was located on the road between William P. Sites and the Misses Beard (present Route 750 near the intersection of Route 755) about 3/4 of a mile from the head of Spring Creek in southwest Rockingham County. The school is located on Lake's 1885 Atlas of Rockingham County and indicated as School #44. The Sites school was constructed in 1875. Teachers at the Sites school are unknown. The exact date of the closing of Sites school is also unknown but records indicate that the building and lot were sold on December 26, 1908 to Mrs. C. R. Patterson for the sum of $111. Presumably the school closed a short time prior to that date.
