As far as we know, the Big Burning School was in existence several years before Bad Axe became the county seat, starting in 1891. William Elvin, Grandfather of Bill Elvin deeded the land that the school stands on. We have a list of teachers from 1893-1896 but no records from 1895-1914. We do know that John Clarks Aunt taught at Big Burning from 1981-1910 and Art Hogan taught during this time but the exact dates aren't known. Student count has ranged from as high as 95 in the late eighteen hundreds to the present number of 21, all being taught by one teacher.
