Buchanan at Fifth St. and Mellette, S.W. in 1961 is the latest elemen- tary school to be built. crowded conditions at the JuniorlSenior High building were becoming a major pro- blem in the 1960's and numerous plans and suggestions were considered before final plans were drawn up to construct Huron's third senior high school building. The new structure, designed to accommodate 1000 students, was completed and first used in the fall of 1967. Located on Arizona Avenue, S.W., the building, which cost a total of $2,040,350.48, seemed far remov- ed from the main part of the city. It has smce been surrounded by more structures and a shopping mall. in 1977 the Huron Vocational School was built - west of the senior high school bunldI-ng and is used for the senior high vocational classes. growing population made it necessary to build additions on Madison, Buchanan and McKinley schools during the 1960's and 1970's.
