[edit] History
The main building was constructed in 1924. The Seventy-First School was formed by the consolidation of six schools in the Seventy-First township. It was formed by the consolidation of McPherson, Glendale, Raymount, Kornbow, Westover and Galatia schools. These six schools were staffed by one to three teachers each. The two story brick school originally had 13 classrooms, an auditorium, and a privately managed lunch room. Five classrooms were used for high school work. The first year the school had an enrollment of 367 pupils. It served as a high school from 1924 until 1962 when it was converted to an elementary school. Major physical renovations have been made to prepare our building for this new concept. It is now a middle school.
