Around 1920 the farmers in my area told the township trustees "you buy the materials and we'll build a school". They built a brick building with a gym in the basement and all 12 grades on the 2 floors above. They closed 16 one room school hoses and one two room school house. Before that anybody going to HS had to go to town.
