[5] There had been several designated areas throughout the village for the teaching of children, including a public school established at a Presbyterian Church, which was a small frame building located on the east side of market street, with two teachers, and a wooden floor with a hold in it that was used for discipline.

[5] The other unofficial Establishment was a log malt house that was part of a deserted distillery at the head of Spring Street.

When the school was completed in 1873, it consisted of six large classrooms and a 24-78" lecture hall, which became the location of many village events for the following decades.

A separate small schoolhouse for non-whites was run by the village school district until integration in 1888.

Four private bus drivers were hired to transport pupils who had previously attended Elmwood, Greenbriar, Elklick, and Olive Branch Elementary Schools.
