OLD GREENWOOD SCHOOL HOUSE
Erected in the summer of 1881
The above halftone shows the Greenwood High School to the southwest. The cut is made from a camera picture taken last spring by Will. Dawes, and is printed on the Greenwood High School Special Tablet, sold by the City Drug Store. It is with the courtesy of their manager, Alfred Kristiansen, that we are able to give Gleaner readers the view.
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.Greenwood Gleaner, Sept. 13, 1901, pg. 1
