History

In 1911, a new six room brick school building replaced the original two room structure and the first high school class was organized. [8]

In 1928, that building became the elementary school. [8]

In 1952, the high school was burned. A new high school was built and completed in 1953. [8]

In 1961, a new elementary school was completed. [8]

In 1994, a sizeable addition was made to the existing high school; including a new gym, locker room facilities, and classrooms. The middle school grades 7 and 8 were moved to the same building as the high school. The elementary/middle school building which was previously grades 3-8 became the place for grades 1–6. And the old elementary building (the original high school building from 1911), which had been for Kinder through grade 2, became preschool and Kindergarten only.

In 2008, a new gym was built at the elementary school. It is three times the size of the original gym.[ citation needed ]

In 2010, USD 372 suffered major spending cuts, which included the art program, teachers, lunches, etc.[ citation needed ]
