"Osceola Public School, located at 5th and Pine Streets, Osceola, Missouri, was built in two separated building campaigns. The original three-story brick and cut-stone unit, designed by Springfield, Missouri, architect J. L. Heckenlively, was constructed in 1914-15. The two-story brick and cut stone unit built to the east in 1937 was designed by prominent Kansas City architect Charles A. Smith. Located on a promontory southeast of the downtown district, Osceola Public School has maintained much of its original historic integrity. To the southwest and northwest of the "L"-shaped building are residential neighborhoods." – National Register Nomination
The building served as the only public school in Osceola from its construction until 1975 when a new elementary school was built. It was then used as a high school until 1990 when high school addition was added to the new school. The school building has since been converted into residential apartments.
