of
this building was built in 1932 as Galva High School. It was
built
for a cost of approximately $250,000. The taller section to the
left
in the picture is the original '32 portion of the builing. The
shorter
section, to the right in the picture above, was added in 1952, as the
junior
high portion of the building. At the time it was built it took
the
place of the "North School", built in 1895. The "North School"
then
became an elementary school later to be renamed "F.U. White Elementary
School" for Fred White, the man who was superintendent of the Galva
Schools for approximately
40 years. |

This building
maintained
it's status as Galva's high school until the 1968 school year when the
new
high school, north of the site of this building was completed. At
that
time this building became Galva Middle School and remained as such
until
the 1991 school year when it became Galva Elementary School due to the
closing
of "F.U. White Elementary School" for financial reasons. |
| The current Galva
High
School is located on North Center Avenue. It was built in 1967
and opened
for classes in the early part of 1968. It was built for slightly less
than $1 million. This building is located at the North end of the
football
field and track which it shares with the elementary school. This
building
served grades 9-12 from 1968 till 1991 at which time the junior high
grades
( 7th and 8th) were transferred to this building. In
1994-95
an addition with two classrooms and two restrooms was added. |
