History

According to the 1916 Greenville High School yearbook, "In 1845 the inhabitants of Greenville decided that the future prosperity of this town depended upon the education of their children." The first school was therefore established. [6]

In 1869, a three-story white brick school was built at the south end of Franklin Street, between Union Street and Judd Street, to house the high school. [7] [8] The building burned on April 23, 1911. [6]

The high school was rebuilt in 1912, [9] but an undamaged addition known as The Annex (built in 1908) remained. A section was added to the 1912 building in 1936. [8] In 1942, the interior of the auditorium burned and was rebuilt by that fall. [10]

The present Greenville High School has been in use since the fall of 1961. [11] The former high school building was torn down in the 1970s and the town's public library was built on the site. [7]
