The first school sessions in the area now included in Union County were held in neighborhood homes.   As more people settled in the small neighborhoods scattered through out the area, school sessions were held in the neighborhood churches.  Eventually over time, one room schools were built.  As attendence in these one-room schools increased, it became neccesary to centralize the schools in one place in larger school houses.  By 1937 there were 13 township school districts in Union County.  The Marysville Public School system served children who lived in Marysville and Paris Township.  There were also three parochial schools in the county.  Trinity Lutheran School was located in Marysville in Paris Township.  St. Paul Lutheran School was located in Chuckery in the southern part of Darby Township.  And, St. Johns Lutheran School was located in the German Settlement in the north central part of Darby Township.  Today Union County is home to three school districts, Marysville Exempted Village Schools, North Union Local Schools, and Fairbanks Local Schools.  Trinity Lutheran School, St. Paul Lutheran School, and St. Johns Lutheran School are still the only parochial schools in the county.
