His family lived in Oklahoma during his childhood, moving to Colorado during the Great Depression. After high school Schooley enrolled in the University of Colorado, where he majored in art and worked his way through college as a truck driver. In Boulder he fell in love with a fellow art major, Gertrude "Gussie" Rogers, and spent one summer as a ranch hand working on her family's ranch near Westcliffe, CO.

In 1947 Schooley joined the Art Department of New Mexico Highlands University in Las Vegas, NM. taught classes in all the above media, in addition to art history. He was head of the Art Department for many years before retiring early in 1978 to devote himself full time to painting.
