History

According to records found in the Marion County Courthouse indicate that Flippin's school began in 1895 in a one-room building. The school followed the town's movement closer to the railroad track, originally occupying a two-story, two-room frame building alongside Crane Creek. In 1917, two more rooms—one upstairs and one downstairs—were added to accommodate growth.

G. B. Keeter became superintendent of Flippin's school in 1926 and is credited with many improvements to it and the community. The school became accredited in 1926, began offering three years of high school in 1927, and graduated its first class of six seniors in 1929. Consolidation of many outlying schools necessitated growth, and, in the late 1920s, the school moved to where it stands as of 2010. [3]
