Avola is located about 4 miles east of Bronaugh (about halfway between Bronaugh and Sheldon). There was a one room school there until it was consolidated into Bronaugh in 1948.

Avola Students in 1946 Erma Jean Staffen submitted this scan and wrote: "I believe one of these boys is Benny Pritchet. I'm on the front row, second from the right and my sister Sandra Lee is next to me holding my hand. I think the goodlooking dark haired boy behind the boy in the overalls, is Charles Beeman, who I had a massive crush on. His sister, Juanita Beeman, was my best girlfriend. The blond girl standing next to me on my left, I think was named Sinsley. She had a brother, Frank. But I don't remember her name. It'll be fun seeing if anyone can identify the rest of these kids. "
