Students moved into a three-story red brick building in 1901. On March 4, 1907, the high school burned to the ground. [3] An overheated furnace was blamed for the fire. Until a new school was built, classes were held in churches around New Lisbon. [4] A new high school was built in 1908, which also housed the Juneau County Teachers College (Juneau County Normal School). The teachers college dissolved in the 1970s.
