No doubt the log school house
that stood on Eagle Hill on the South Ridge was the first school in
The first brick school building was erected fourteen years later [1881] where the Geneva Post Office now stands [the old post office on Broadway]. The teacher was paid two dollars a month, and was given board.
The Geneva Normal, built in 1868, was a four story building located behind the grade school building. It was known as the White Normal.
The present grade school building was erected in 1889 and was remodeled in 1939.
The old high school building, erected in 1884, stood where the present one now stands. In 1925 the cornerstone of the present high school was laid and the building was completed in 1925.
In 1954 ground was broken for a new high school on Sherman Street Extension. This building is to house the four upper grades. The planms include provisions for future expansion. At the present, a gym, auditorium and one wing for classrooms is being constructed. In the future another wing is to be added as the need demands. Ample parking space in the rear of the building will be provided for all commuters, students, and teachers. An architect’s design will be found at the front and rear of this annual. Completion of this building is anticipated to be sometime in 1956.
