Hampstead School was completed and opened in 1919 serving all grades 1-12. It was expanded in 1939. It continued to server the community until it was outgrown in the 1950s. It graduated its last senior class in 1956. The next fall, North Carroll Senior High School opened. Hampstead School continued serving grades 1 through 8 until 1961, when the North Carroll High School was enlarged to accommodate grades 5 through 8. Hampstead School then operated as an elementary school for kindergarten through 4th grade. Open-plan classroom additions were added to the rear of the school in 1968 and 1972. When a new elementary school opened nearby in 1986, the Hampstead School closed. While the 1919 main block and 1939 addition remained vacant, the 1968 and 1972 additions were remodeled to accommodate a family resource center during the 1990s. The building still stands.
