Valla School was officially opened in February 1923. It ceased operation when the new school at Bjerka opened in the autumn of 1976. Soon thereafter, Hemnes municipality gave the school to Vallabotn Sanitetsforening. (A sanitetsforening is an association of women volunteer workers who provide care and services for the sick and convalescent.)
In 2020, the Friends of Valla School (Vallaskolas Venner) was established. Together with the Sanitetsforening, they have been restoring the school and giving the venerable building a new lease on life. The first phase of this renovation is almost completed and the venue may now be rented for various occasions. Many local clubs and organisations have already accepted the invitation to start using the old school.
