In 1927, T. Wingate Andrews (Superintendent of High Point City Schools) presided over the dedication of the building.

[4] The current building was completed in 1927 and designed by Greensboro architect Harry Barton, in Collegiate Gothic style.

The halls on the interior of the building had tile and terrazzo floors, intricate plaster moldings and ceiling medallions with cherubs, fine woodworking and custom cabinetry.

The three Gothic entrance towers, each four stories high, held an ice bin.

Large fans circulated the cool air from the ice bins throughout the school.

A driveway for cars and buses ran along the front of the school and was cased by a grand gateway built of tapestry brick, and cast stone ornamentation.

A new air conditioning system was installed after several heat waves occurred during the previous years, while the original radiators were scrapped.

An aluminum covered walkway was also installed to provide shelter to the elementary students walking from the neighboring Tomlinson Montessori School, to the cafeteria for their lunch.
