Building history

The school was designed by Hobart Upjohn and cost ten times the average high school in the state. It is in the Tudor Revival or Gothic style and draws qualities of the Universities of Cambridge and Oxford in the United Kingdom. The building is on the National Register of Historic Places and still is in its originally intended use.
