History
St. Theodore was built in 1883 and named after Rev. Theodore Krainhardt. The original building was roughly 20 by 40 feet (6.1 m × 12.2 m) and would later be converted into a two-room school house with the addition of the church in 1900. The still-standing "old school" was built in 1913. It had 7 classrooms, two stories, a loft, a basement (used as a cafeteria), and two stairways. Two grades shared one classroom. Some classrooms were used as administrative offices throughout the years. Later, an elevator was added.
In 2000, the school was expanded, adding 6 classrooms, a cafeteria, a teacher's lounge, an administrator's office, and a large gym.
As of the 2011-2012 school year, about 215 students attend St. Theodore with a class size of 17–30. St. Theodore is the only school in Flint Hill.
