History

The old high school building, located north of the community park and the Normal Memorial Library on Eagle Street, was originally the Fayette Normal College of Business and Music and was established in 1882. The old high school was established in 1929, with additions being built in 1953, 1973, and 1997. The building finished its 80th year before the district moved into a new multi-million dollar building at the south edge of town. The Franklin elementary building was established in 1937 and became a part of the Fayette school system in 1968. Before the move in Fall 2008, the old high school housed grades 4-12 and the Franklin building housed K-3. The district is now in one K-12 school building located at 400 East Gamble Road in Fayette.
