History
The school opened in a small building with one teacher, Salina Ferrell Smith, before moving into specially constructed quarters on the ground floor of the Masonic Lodge, completed in December 1871. The building was destroyed by fire in 1878 and replaced in 1879. After two expansions of that building, the school moved in 1914 to its own building with six classrooms and an auditorium, which was replaced in 1937 by a white-brick building on approximately the same site. This was replaced in 1958 and again in 1977 by new buildings on different sites. The school's fourth campus opened in fall 2012; the previous campus became the junior high school.
