This school is located on a dirt road, about five miles southeast of Elmore City, at the northwest corner of CR 1680 and what is known as Katie Highway. The school building is used as a community center today.
The Katie School was built in 1939-1940 by the WPA. This is a 4-classroom school constructed of native sandstone. It has a hipped roof, with a small gable over the east-facing entrance. This entrance and the ones on the sides of the school are recessed under an arched opening. The school is symmetrical with the entrance at the center. Two six-window ribbon units flank the entrance. The units extend to the eaves, but the top half is covered with wood slats, leaving 6-over-6 double hung units.
To the left of the entrance is a bronze WPA shield showing 1939.
