St. Charles High School (Missouri)

Originally located at Fourth and Jefferson Streets, it is situated at the former home of the St. Charles Military Academy, to which it moved after a fire in 1918.

Within a decade, overcrowding led to the division of the district into two high schools.

After a fire in 1995 destroyed all but the oldest section of the building, which was a brick construction, the school was renovated.

His speech dealt primarily with the proposed health care reform legislation, and while access to the speech was by invitation only, hundreds of supporters and opponents of the president were outside to witness the historic event.

An official White House photo shows a member of the audience holding a "Thank You" sign during President Barack Obama 's speech on medicare fraud and health care insurance reform in the auxiliary gym on March 10, 2010.
