Description
"In 1924, construction began on the building presently known as the James E. Mallonee School . It was completed in 1925. During the Thanksgiving holidays in 1925, the high school was moved into the new building. Total enrollment was approximately 600, including parts of the 5th and 6th grades. Ten high school teachers were employed for the 278 students in grades 8-11. During the next few years, the elementary grades were gradually transferred to other schools as the high school enrollment increased."
