History

The first school in what would become the district opened in 1864. [1]

Summit School, the base for what would become Summit School District 104, was founded in the late 19th century. [3] The school no longer exists as part of the district; however, the oldest existing active school is Donald Wharton Elementary School, which was founded in 1912 as Argo School. It was later renamed for principal Dr. Donald Wharton, who directed the school in the 1970s. [3] The second oldest school in the district is John Walsh Elementary School, which was founded in 1923; it is named for school board member John D. Walsh. Similarly, Otis Graves Elementary School, which was founded a year later, also was named for a school board member. [3] Walker Elementary School was the most recent of the elementary schools, and was founded in 1934 and named for board member W.W. Walker. [3]

Heritage Junior High School, which was formerly known as Graves Junior High School, was renamed in honor of the Heritage Corridor. [3]
