This halftone shows the Greenwood High School to the southwest of town. The cut
is made from a camera picture taken last spring by William Dawes, and is printed
on the Greenwood High School Special Tablet, sold by the City Drug store. It is
with courtesy of their manager, Alfred Kristiansen, that we are able to give
Gleaner readers the view. Greenwood Gleaner, Sept. 13, 1901, pg. 1

During the summer of 1881, a new building replaced "The Red School House." It
was designed for a graded school and cost 7,000. One teacher was hired and as
the population grew, more were added. In 1894 a high school department was
organized with B. O. Dodge serving as principle. English, German and Agriculture
were offered and in 1898, Eva Miller and Mabel Varney became the first
graduates.
