Prior to 1925, the school was located on Main Street on the property where "The Center", the recreational center in Springfield, is located. In 1925, the school moved to the former campus of Peoples-Tucker School, which had been closed. The school remained on that campus until 1982 when it was moved to Highway 76 East at its present location.
