Created By: Rock Springs Main Street/URA
By 1916 overcrowding necessitated the building of a larger school on this site. Modern innovations (a vacuum cleaning system, indirect lighting, and a suspended track) made it one of the largest and best school facilities in the state. The building was removed in the 2000s to make way for the new RSNB Bank building. In constructing the new building, the architects paid homage to the former high school, especially with the turrets on the new bank building.
At the 1945 planting ceremony of the “Hero Tree” on the right lawn, junior high school students lit a candle for each Rock Springs student who died in World War II.
