1887 |
Above is the second school built
in Pittsburg, and was located near the corner of Tenth
and Broadway. It was an eight-room brick structure that
cost $12,000 to build. It had one room devoted to high
school curriculum while the other rooms were used for
other grades. The first senior class graduated in 1888
with six students. The building was torn down in 1888
and was replaced with a larger twelve-room brick structure,
that opened in 1889, that became known as the Granby
School. That first year there was no graduating class.
The next year, 1890, saw only one student graduate. The
Granby School was closed and torn down about 1903 when
the new Senior High School was built at 807 N. Broadway. |

Senior High School building, located at 807 N. Broadway
was built in 1903 at a cost of $35,000. It was used as

the building became the Roosevelt Junior High and was
used in that capacity until 1939 when an addition was
added to the high school and Roosevelt Junior High was
moved there. This building was torn down in about 1940. |
