HISTORY OF PERRYVILLE HIGH SCHOOL Our first public school, founded in 1876, was a one room building which was also used for a church. School was in session three months in the winter and three months in the summer and anyone who wished could attend. In 1882 a subscription school was built across the street from the public school by a wealthy man named John L. W. Mathyuge. This school was in session nine months of the year and only those who were financially able attended. Later there were two rooms added to the public school. The county grew in population and wealth, and in 1916 a brick build- ing was built two blocks northeast of the Court House. A new elementary school was ready for occupation in the fall of 1948. It was two blocks northwest of the high school. Then in 1956 a four-room junior high school was constructed dir- ectly behind the elementary building. As classes became crowded the present junior and senior high school was built in 1960. It is located one half mile east of the grade school on State Highway 60. A grade school cafeteria was added between the elementary school and the old junior high school building in 1967. Now in 1973 we have a new grade school building located just east of the old grade school. It consists of 13 classrooms, a library, offices, teacher's lounge, a health room, and a supply room.
