HISTORY On April 23, 1915. the people of (lie Kstes Park region voted $25,000 worth of bonds to be used for the construction of a school building. The new building was to replace the other small and inadequate buildings which had been used previously. At that time there were three teachers employed to teach all twelve grades. The following year, another teacher was employed. In 191!) there were 22 pupils enrolled in the grade school, and nine in the high school. Art, music, manual training, and domestic science were added to the curriculum in 1921. and qualified teachers were added to the staff to teach these subjects. The high school was accredited with the University of Colorado in 1924. The total enrollment at that time was 112. As the school enrollment continued to grow, the need for a school gymnasium and auditorium became apparent as there was no community amli-corium. On October 1!). 1925. bonds were again voted, amounting, this time, io $71.000 for a school and community auditorium. This building was completed the following summer and provided two new rooms in the auditorium, and the building constructed in 1915 was used for the upper grades and the high school exclusively. This arrangement was continued until 1932 when the enrollment in the lower grades had increased to such an extent that the two rooms were no longer large enough to accommodate the four grades. Consequently, grades three and four were moved to the older building, thereby appropriating a much-needed room from the ever-increasing high school enrollment. Then iti May, 1938. bonds totaling $47,500 were voted, providing for the construction of a new school building which would adjoin the auditorium. The P. V. A. furnished 45 per cent of the total cost or $42,500. The building was completed in the early fall of 1939, and the junior and senior high schools were moved from the old building. The present building now houses adequately the manual training and domestic science rooms. At present the teaching staff boasts six teachers in the grade school and eleven in the high school, including the superintendent. Provisions throughout the entire school have been made so that in the event of too great an enrollment, more space will be found by possibly adding extra rooms on the second story, or by adding another wing to the north side of the auditorium.
