It was replaced in the 1920s by a new brick junior-senior high school now known as Martin Warren Elementary built in the same location. In the 1960s the senior high was moved to a new location. This building became the Warrensburg Middle school when the high school moved to its current location in 1987 and later became Sterling Elementary after the completion of a new middle school in the mid-1990s. The traditional valedictorian and salutatorian awards were officially discontinued after the graduating class of 2008. The awards were replaced with Latin honors such as summa cum laude, magna cum laude, and cum laude starting with the class of 2009.
