The following information was taken from a Trapp yearbook. It was researched and written by a student
 

    The first school anyone remembers was a one-room log cabin. It sat behind where Dunaway Church now stands. The community at that time was called Roundtree; it was built in 1909. The children in the area attended this school until about 1925. In the meantime, the community's name changed to Trapp.
    A high school was started at Trapp in 1925. Trapp School was finished in 1939. Serving as a high school for a number of years, it then added first grade through eighth grade. On Thursday, June 28, 1984, Trapp Elementary School burned to the ground because of a lightning strike. The board committed to building a new school at a special meeting that was held a week later. One year, nine months and thirteen days later, the new Trapp school opened its door. The new school is larger, more functional, and better suited than the old school. 
    Today, Trapp Elementary School has kindergarten through fifth grade.
