.....Founded in June of 1913, the Louviers District (Number 36) was the school for children of the employees of the Louviers Powder Works owned by the DuPont Corporation. The school building was furnished by the DuPont Company, as was the teacherage which was on the grounds. The size of the classes attending Louviers varied from year to year, but usually there were three classrooms in use. Large scale events like Christmas Programs and graduations were probably held at the Louviers Village Club, which, like everything else in Louviers, was owned by DuPont. Children who lived on the west side of the town (not in Louviers itself) were forced to walk around not only the plant, but the town itself to attend the Kelly or Gann School on Highway 85. Only children of employees of the Powder Works were allowed to attend the Louviers School.

.....The pecking order of the plant was carried through in the school to a certain degree. Children who lived in the "flats" as the area on the eastern side of the town, where the newer employees of the plant lived, were called "flat rats." The children who lived on the hill on the west side of town were usually the children of the managers at the plant and were called "hill brats."

.....In 1961 the school was closed and torn down. Louviers children, both the flat rats and the hill brats, attended either Sedalia or Acequia/Plum Creek School.
