During the summer of 2003, the former high school building was demolished in order to prepare the site for the construction of a new facility to support the activities to be conducted in the remaining gymnasium, weight room, and fitness center. Prior to the demolition of the vacant building, certain artifacts were salvaged from the 1923 structure with the intent that they would be used in the construction of a historic area near the flagpole, which stands at the south end of Boone Street and had been dedicated by the class of 1924. The salvaged pieces include decorative urns form the roof line, two limestone plaques (featuring quotations from Whitman and Macy), two ornate limestone door surrounds from the entrances, and a plaque of dedication for former Superintendent Wynant S. Wilson. All the salvaged pieces were incorporated into the Historical Plaza during construction. A granite stone and paving brick area surround the base of the flag pole in front of the former high school. The floor of the site has spaces with engraved 4"x8" bricks and 8"x8", 8"x12", and 8"x16" granite pavers. The final touch to the project was the placement of solid granite benches on the perimeter of the patio area.
Those who chose to support this project and preserve some of the history of the former high school building had his or her name, a loved one's name, a farm, a business, or family engraved on a brick or granite paver. Major contributions are honored with a name/logo engraved on a solid granite bench to be placed on the perimeter of the area.
