History

The C.H. Yoe High School was built in 1921 in honor of local Cameron businessman and entrepreneur Charles H. Yoe, who donated the money for the school. Yoe wanted to donate the money as he felt that his lack of education had handicapped him and the Yoes had no children to inherit their fortune. Plans for the new school, which was to replace the deteriorating Cameron High School, were started in 1916 but halted after Charles' death in 1917. The building was to cost no less than $50,000 and no more than $125,000. The first classes at The C.H. Yoe School were held on March 9, 1921. The building was considered state-of-the-art for its time. In 2004, after 83 years of use, the original school building was discontinued for service after a new school building was built and opened for the 2004–2005 school year. The new school was built around the old school and gymnasium, and both buildings are still standing. [5]
