Leaf River Community High School The Leaf River Community High School dis- trict was organized in 1920, being one of the first in the county to take advantage of the Community High School Law. The district has an area of 56 square miles and an assessed val- uation of approximately $2,000,000. The build- ing, a modern one story structure, was built in 1921 at an approximate cost of $110,000. At present the building is free from debt, the last of the bonds having been retired several years ago. Since 1921 the enrollment has in- creased from less than 50 students until it now numbers 110. Three buses operate to trans- port students to and from school. During the past year a noticeable change in the appear- ance of the grounds surrounding the building has taken place. The land in the rear of the building has been leveled and made into a fine athletic field which will be ready for use next Fall. A gravel drive, lined with a white fence, extends around the school.
