History
Founded in 1907 on land donated by William A. Hankins, a homesteader who filed a claim in the 1880s, Campion Academy was founded in order to train young people to spread the gospel at home and around the world. The first school year opened to 29 students attending grades 1-9, in spite of no desks and little other equipment. Throughout the Great Depression and World Wars I and II, the school grew thanks to dedicated families and local church members who helped raise money, build, and work at the school. By 1963, enrollment had grown to 339 students.
Located between Loveland and Berthoud, Colorado, the academy's location along the railroad allowed it to develop industries at which students could work and help pay part of their tuition. Some of the industries included Silver State Plastics (1960), Harris Pine Mills (1962), and Rhodes Baken N Serve (1966). Today, students still participate in a work-study program in both on- and off-campus jobs.[3][4]
