HISTORY OF SHERMAN HIGH SCHOOL One day, the turning of these pages will release to your mind memory of your days at Sherman High School, you will then think of the history of your school. The high school was organized in 1891 on the third floor of the Washington building. In 1898 the high school was moved to the Franklin building for one year. Then the first regular high school building was built in 1899. This building was burned in 1907. In 1909 the course was lengthened from three years to four years, and as a result there was no graduating class that year. For several years there were two graduations a year, one at mid-term and one in June. This was abandoned, be- cause it was an unnecessary expense, and no good result came of it. When the old junior High School building was built, the Board said that it would be sufficient for twenty years, however, in 1917 it was necessary to move into our present junior High building, then the High School, with three of the grades in high school and one in junior High, In 1925 the high school building was increased again, and they put all four grades in high school. In 1946 the course was once again lengthened, putting five grades in high school and leaving the seventh grade in grade school. In 1954 work was started on the present High School building. The class of 1955 was the first class to graduate from the new school. The old high school building was changed to the present Junior High. We know that Sherman High School is not the largest, but we do consider it the best. Our inspiration is in the past, our duty is in the presentg and our hope is in the future. May the future Sherman High School graduates step into the world with that ole SHS spirit that carries on till the game is over!
