Saskatchewan School District No.99. Originally the District was called "The Saskatchewan Protestant Public School District No 99 of the North-West Territories". It was established by the early pioneers of the Clark's Crossing area on July 6, 1887, several years before Saskatchewan became a province in 1905.

Clark's Crossing is located just a little over 5 miles or 8 Ks directly east of Warman, Saskatchewan on the South Saskatchewan river, or about 32 Ks northeast of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. It was here where John Neilson Lake first decided to settle and build his community for the Temperance Society. Later, he decided to move to a more central point of the land they had been granted, somewhat further south to what is now Nutana, a part of Saskatoon. However, most of the early pioneers and settlers opted to stay in the area on their homesteads. Thus the early need for a school for their children.

The earliest pioneers were John Fowler Clark arriving in 1880; John Neilson Lake 1882 and his brother, James Parker Lake 1883; John James Caswell 1883, and his brothers, Joseph James 1883, Robert Wallace Caswell 1883, James Dickson Caswell 1886, and David Caswell 1889; Richard Joseph Molloy 1884; Hugh Donnon 1888; and Seagar Wheeler 1885 among others. A few years later they were joined by Richard and Mahlon Barager and the Case families, who were to pay key roles in the school. The first school meeting for the election of trustees was held in the home of John J. Caswell. The first trustees elected were James D. Caswell, Robert W. Caswell and Hugh Donnan. It is likely the first school was located in the home of John J. Caswell. It was not much more than a log-mud building.

The Saskatchewan School District No 99 covered a large area of about 32 sections or 20,480 acres. The area lays claim to having the first ferry crossing, the first railway crossing, the first telegraph office and the first post office and one of the oldest public schools in the North-West Territories.

In 1906 two Barager families had moved into the area and became very active in the School District. They were responsible for building the first school building in 1906 on Sec 11.Tp 39. R4. W3rd about 3 Ks north of the present Clark's Crossing ferry. At one time the one room school had about 65 children attending. Some had to walk over 3 miles to attend the school. The school house was moved to another location about one mile north of its original location in 1952 and closed in 1962. FriesenPress recently (2014) published a book on the history of the school: "The Saskatchewan School No. 99". 461 pages. It has a wealth of information including copies of many historical documents, pictures and history of the many families involved in the school. Author Bob Wahl.
