Mission/Spanish Colonial Revival architecture. Concrete block construction with rough stucco exterior surfacing. Included within the National Register boundaries for the property are the original school building, a former cafeteria building, and a low marl stone wall that encloses a landscaped lawn in front of the school. Architect N. Gallard Walker designed the school, and Franklin Wheeler, who had previously constructed the Alva High School in 1927, was the contractor.
