The first school building was built in 1892 at 5th and Main Street. The wooden structure contained three rooms. That building and its successor, built in 1895 near the present Administration Building have since been raised. But, it was in these buildings that Yukon High School held its first graduation in 1904. The graduates were three women: Lela Russel, Emma Ellison, and Manone Glotfelter. All three women later became teachers in Yukon Schools. |

A new school was built in 1910 through a $33,000 bond issue. The school was designed to accommodate all grades and was known as the District School, but today it serves as the Yukon Historical Society Museum and Stage Door Theater. This is the building that sits to the south of the current Administration Building. The Administration Building originally housed Central Elementary for years. |

As school enrollment grew, a building designed to serve grades 7 though 12 was constructed in 1925. This building currently houses Central Elementary. But, prior to the transformation, this old High School building was affectionately known as the “Alamo”, due to its structural appearance. After the current High School was built at Yukon Avenue and Garth Brooks Boulevard, the “Alamo” was renamed as the Mid High, housing 9th and 10th graders.<ref>[http://www.yukonps.com/AboutUs/History/OurHistory/tabid/566/Default.aspx Yukon Public Schools history]</ref> |
