Addtional Information::
In 1936, the auditorium adjacent to the high school was constructed with funding from the federal government. Both facilities were used until the new high school was built in 1949. Over the years, both buildings have been used for various businesses. The high school building still has its original hardwood flooring. Since the first step of progress to build a high school, the same cooperative spirit has filled the hearts of the entire community and the march toward educational excellence continues today.
