Emmaville school was established in 1875 as a Provisional school with 70 – 80 pupils in the first year.
   In 1878 it became a Public School and in 1927 it was rebuilt at its present site. It became a Central School in 1944.

“In November 1880, John Reid (Wesleyan) manager of the smelting works, T. Mackenzie (Presbyterian) and George McTavish (Church of England), foreman of the smelting works, and George Stanford (Church of England), an employee of the smelter, applied for a Public School at Glen Smelting Works at Tent Hill for 37 pupils; 19 boys and 18 girls.”
  Tent Hill Public School was established in 1881 near the Glen Smelting Works and until April 1943 was known as “The Glen School”. The first headmaster was Walter James May.
