Construction started in 1923, and the building was dedicated Friday, October 3, 1924. The school was dedicated to the 248 men who died in World War One. Mr. W.E. Englund was superintendent of the school district. Enrollment for the first year of school was 460 high school students. According to the local newspapers, it cost $1,000,000 and boasted an indoor pool. The Industrial Arts Building was constructed in 1929. In 1939 the American football field was added behind the high school. It is still being used for secondary education (grades 7-12). The high school building is one of four buildings on the school campus. The rest of the campus consists of the Ely Ice Arena, Washington Elementary, and the Band and Industrial Arts Building. ^[1]
