History

The school was built to educate elementary and high school students in Mount Horeb. In 1941, the building was expanded.[2] Currently, first and second grade students are educated there.

The original and largest part of the school was designed in 1918 by Madison architects Claude & Starck. This portion is three stories, in Prairie School style and 150feet by 80feet on a poured concrete basement foundation. The school was expanded in 1941 by a 95feet by 85feet gymnasium/auditorium and a 50feet by 60feet "hyphen" that joined it to the original school. These were designed by Madison architects Law, Law, and Potter.[3]
