Designed c. 1925 as the South Side High School by Huse Templeton Blanchard. This building served as the junior and senior high school from 1924-1954. The clock was fabricated by the E. Howard Clock Company.

When a new high school opened in 1954 to serve the growing number of students, this building became the middle school.

Comments

  • Was the Memorial South Side High School when completed in 1921 and remained the SSHS until 1955 when the High School was built and moved to the present location. This then became the Junior/Middle School.
  • One of the few Middle Schools on the East Coast with a functioning Archery Club.
