This school was the new high school in designed and built in 1917. It was in use from 1917 to 1944 when a new and larger high school was constructed. The old high school then became a Jr. High School, and finally a ward (elmentary) school. In 1954, the ownership of the building and land reverted to the Waggoner estate. They donated the land to the Catholic Church that presently occupies the land. No photo has been located at this time.
