History
The district's former high school was built in 1936 at the corner of City and Wolverine Streets. It replaced the 1867 Manchester Union School on the same site.[5] The 1936 school was funded by the Works Progress Administration. Its cornerstone, laid on March 24, 1936, includes a box of historical documents about the building and school district, as well as coins.[6]
Riverside Intermediate School was built in 1954.[7] Luther C. Klager Elementary, named after a long-serving school board president, opened in fall 1969. The architect was Louis Kingscott.[8]
The current junior/senior high school opened in fall 2004.[9]
