On July 24, 1947, a fire broke out in an old shop building near Cyprus High School.

[1] Sparks went astray and the seventh and eighth grade wing of the high school caught fire.

Fire crews were unable to save that portion of the building.

[2] The buildings were reorganized to serve as a ninth and tenth grade core subject extension of the Cyprus High School campus.

Junior high school boundaries in the district were reorganized such that seventh and eighth grade students who would have attended Brockbank now attend Matheson Junior high to the southeast.
