The Bradley School District was organized formally in June 1885 and a one-room schoolhouse operated at the southeast corner of SE15-1-5E in in what is now the Municipality of Emerson-Franklin. In October 1917, an $850 debenture was issued to pay for a 20 feet by 20 feet four-room teacherage. The one-room schoolhouse was divided into two classrooms in December 1923. The district was dissolved in 1967 and its catchment area became part of the Boundary School Division.
