The first building was completed in 1876, known as Washington School. The building held students from grades 6-12. In January 1929, the middle school burned down and was rebuilt in the same year. In the year 1970, a multipurpose building was erected, housing a lunchroom/gym, kitchen, and band hall. In 1997, an elementary school along with an interconnect was built, connecting all three buildings. In the year 2012, a Commons area was added next to the gymnasium and a two-story addition was built onto the elementary school.A new gymnasium was added to the elementary school in 2020.
