Story of the School Ogallala High School graduated its first 12th grade class in 1911 in the pres- ent grade school building. When conditions became crowded in the 1910 structure, (the Grade building) the present High School was built, and opened in 1923. Even this soon proved inadequate and in 1930 the east addition, which includes the man- ual training department, laboratory, and other rooms, was built. The school has a fine gymnasium. The enrollment has steadily increased, and this term about 350 pupils were hous- ed in the building, and the graduating class numbers 57. From its beginning, progressive edu- cation has been the aim of OHS. In that spirit, it moves upward and onward.
