History

A school in Gardiner first opened in 1903. At the time, a lack of transportation options made it difficult to send children in Mammoth to the school in Gardiner. In the years prior to 2008, with improved transportation options, some Mammoth children went to school in Gardiner even though there was a school in Mammoth; at the time Wyoming did not have an agreement to send money to Montana for the education of those children. Circa 2008 the interstate agreement to send money was made, and by then fewer children were in Mammoth. In 2008 the Mammoth school closed.[4]
