History

The first public school in Annawan was organized in 1854 and was held in the Village townhouse. The townhouse was a meeting hall which was also used for trials and village board meetings. In 1870 a two-story frame building was constructed on a one square block site close to the business district. This block served as an educational site for the next 104 years, until an additional bus storage and maintenance facility were built with the funds realized from the sale of the Hooppole School, which had closed after declining enrollment rates. [9]

Hooppole High School

Hooppole High School was formed in the late 1800s and served the community proudly until its closing in 1948. Upon closure it was decided the children of Hooppole would attend school in nearby Annawan. The high school hosted basketball games through the 1948 season. During the 1960s and 1970s Hooppole hosted the first and second grade classes as part of the Annawan school system in a school building on the south side of town (pictured below). Annawan built an all-inclusive school in 1974. As pointed out by Terry Rosebeck, the school building in Hooppole continued hosting 1st and 2nd grade classes until it was closed in the spring of 1979. That building is now used for a private business. [10]
