Our
History The original Maple Grove School District was annexed into
the Boise District on May 18, 1949. It was known as Common
School District No. 10. The old Maple Grove schoolhouse sat
on the southeast corner of Franklin and Maple Grove Roads.
It was abandoned by the District in the late 1940's.
In 1968 a new Maple Grove School was built on South Maple
Grove Road just north of Victory Road. Two other schools, Owyhee
and Valley View, were built in the same year. The school was
originally planned for twelve classrooms, but the area grew
so rapidly that seven more rooms were added during construction.
An additional six classrooms were added in 1973, bringing
the total to 22. Maple Grove was more conventional in design
than the other schools built the same year; the school is built
in a rectangular shape, with halls surrounding a central courtyard.
Today, Maple Grove has over 550 students and is one of the
largest schools in the district.
