The old Fredericksburg School was built in 1891 at a cost of $20,000, and served as the primary high school for the Salt Creek Local School District until the consolidation with Paint Local, and East Union Local School Districts in Wayne County, and Prairie Local School District in Holmes County combined to form the Southeast Local School District, in 1955 upon completion of Waynedale High School.
