The Cumberland School, which housed both elementary and high school classes during its many years of service, was completed in 1931 and is located at 359 North Cambridge Street. At the time of its construction, it cost $60,000 to build. The Class of 1964 was the last group of students to graduate from the school. Consolidation would take the upper classes out of the building. The structure would be used as an elementary until December 1, 1986, when it was closed for good. As of May 2022, the building is still standing.
