Description
Modoc Union High School was constructed in 1939 as a Public Works Administration project and is located along North Main St (Hwy 395) in downtown Alturas, CA. There are two bronze plaques that hang near the front entrance to the school. The top plaque mentions the Federal Emergency Administration of Public Works by Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harold L. Ickes as Administrator of Public Works. The plaque lists the school as being constructed in 1939. The building’s architecture contains Art Deco themes. The school still functions as a high school today.
