The first ad¬ ministration of the Countv consisted of a Trustee elected hv the people and an advisorv hoard. The duties of this Trtistee inchided the establishment of sufficient schools for education and the maintenance of these buildings. He also hired and paid teachers. ith the a.ssistance of an . dvisorv Board, he established rub ' s, regulations, and procedures that all iH ' hools would follow. In 1880, the first high school was organized and the first class graduated in 188.5. There were onlv four stu¬ dents—two girls and two bovs. In 1906. a new high school was built on the northeast comer of Houston and alsh streets to accomodate more stu¬ dents.
