I CEltrnnir1r nf A. ij. Sv. The Anderson High School had its origin in a brick building erected to take the place of the county seminary which burned in 1856. It was built on the present site of the Main Street School, the ground being donated by Newell Williams and Andrew .lackson. In 1876 the school had an enrollment of thirty- one students and three teachers. including the principal and superintendent. The same year the graduating class consisted of four girls. l'n 1888, the school was moved to the old Opera House on Eighth Street. This change was mad-e to make possible the erec- tion of the present Main Street School. When completed the high school was re-established there. This place was not destined to be the permanent home of Anderson High School, for in 1890 the school was moved to the old Lincoln building which burned in 1900. It was located where the present Lincoln building stands. In 1898. the Horace Mann Grammar School was erected beside the Lincoln btuilding to accomodate the increasing nmnber of students. This building is now known as the .lunior High School. The present high school building was erected in 1910. It was partly destroyed by fire Jamiarx' 25, 19123. The building suffered a similar fate, March 20, 1922. when the Art lJt!lJ2lll.lllCI1i was practically destroyed by fire. At present, the high school has an enrollment of 1303, more than double the number enrolled in the high school and grade schools combined in 1873. This year's graduating class consists of 135 students. 12
