-59- THE SCHOOLS OF CLARKSBURG , e Due to the efforts of Mr. George Smith, a villag school was organized in Clarksburg in 1820. It was probably a log structure, and no doubt stood on the lot now occupied by the Town Hall and the park. This tract of land was given to the village by Mr. William Clark for school purposes'when he plotted the new town. No definite information has been found concernirg this first school. The first school that is remembered bJ the oldest residents today was a large frame structure t at stood on this same lot. This building was no doubt the se ond school in the community. It stood at about the cent r of the present Nparky parallel to the street. It was a two room, two story, frame building, heated by wood-burning stoves. The children in the upper room entered by a door at the west side of the south end, while the children in the lower ro m entered by a door at the east side of the south end. The bu lding did not reach the entire length of the lot, covering som of the area where the Town Hall now stands. The older chil ren oc- cupied the upper room and were promoted to this room when they could read in the third reader. This frame sch ol build- ing was later moved by Mr. William Peacock to the lo of the late Mrs. Laura Brown. It was remodeled and used fi st as a dwelling with a paint shop in the second story. A c bbler's shop later took the place of the paint shop. l In the early l87O's, the township purchased a l t from Archibald Thomas, in the southern section of the vil age on the Frankfort Pike. About 1873 a two story brick sc ool building was erected on this lot. The first teacher in this building was Mr. Oscar Morgan, who died in 1936 at t e age of ninety. Some of the other teachers were Miss Hattie1Eastman, Dr. J. T. Simpkins, Elijah Mowbray, Miss Belle Gunni g, Mrs. Eddingfield, and George Pearce. The board of educat on, then called the school directors, were Archibald Thomas, oseph Mumford, and Luther Skinner. This building still st nds and is used for storage. ' N In the late 1880's the school was made a townsh p school, and a third grade high school was established. The ate . J. M. Evans gave about four acres of land to the sch ol, and in 1889 a two-story brick building was erected. Thi build- ing is located outside the village to the west, The building had four rooms and was used until Thanksgiving, 1956 It is still standing at the rear of the new high school bu lding. The first high school teacher was Mr. Jacob Selig. The class of 1892, the first to be graduated, consisted of two members, Mrs. J. W. Reynolds and Mr. Ralph Smith. Mr. J. W. Reynolds was the teacher at that time Cieezb. The high school was made a second grade high sc ool in 1894. The present charter areaging a first grade sc ool was issued February 3, 1912.
