This school, designed by Arthur M. Atkinson, John Duncan Forsyth, Raymond Kerr, and William H. Wolaver, opened in September
1938, on a beautiful 20-acre campus. Built with Works Progress Administration (WPA) funds, the long, horizontal, buff brick school has
two large wings which angle forward. The school's main entrance is flanked with large rectangular columns which frame the school's name and large clock. Two large metal torch
lanterns also flank the front entrance. Cast aluminum plaques above the three entry doors present classic Greek motifs. The central plaque contains a Greek column ringed by a laurel. One
of the side plaques contains a female figure and the other contains a male figure, each holding a torch lighting the way to knowledge.
