School History

Marion Conley

Huntley 158 schools have been named after people who have had a major influence on the education of our children.

Marion Conley taught school from 1926-1945 in a one-room school house located on the corner of Haligus and Conley roads. When Huntley built its first school, Marion began teaching in town. She taught third grade from 1946-1972.

When Marion passed away in 1978, a memorial of “The Fairy Tale” was donated to the school district. A lighted globe was also donated. Both have found a new home at Marion Conley Elementary School, dedicated to her memory in April 2006.

Our building opened its doors in fall of 2005 and it currently houses 630 third-, fourth-, and fifth-grade students.
