The new structure contained 14 classrooms, an auditorium and gymnasium combination, and was built of brick and concrete.
The new high school building was completed in 1941. The old high school on the west side of Kaufman St. then became the elementary school and the old elementary school was torn down, with the land used as a playground. The two buildings continued to be used until 1967 when a new complex for all grades was opened.
This building has been vacant since 1967.
