Elementary School Series 6

Balch Camp school on the Kings River looking west down the river. When P.G.&E. started the hydroelectric project on the Kings River a community of construction people sprang up at Balch Camp, making necessary a school. A small school still runs at Balch, part of the Sierra Unified School District. It became part of Sierra Elementary and then went with Sierra into unification. The building pictured was scrapped long ago. Today a two room school and teacher's residence exist at Balch.
