Built by the WPA in 1938-1942. The school is an interesting art deco design in a small rural community with curved facades at the entrance to the school. It is still in use and has been expanded on, though the main school is the original building.

To whom it may concern,
I am trying to get in touch with an old friend that I believe was either the Principal or an administrator at your school 20 years ago. His name is Steve Paul Burns. Is there anyone there that can verify that I have the correct school and, if possible, do you have a mailing address or email address where I may reach him.
I appreciate any and all assistance you can provide.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Gene Rombola
