History
The first school in Vassar was built in 1851. A new brick school was built in 1860, and the first class graduated from there in 1871. In 1886, the McKinley School was built, and the 1860 school continued to be used as the high school until it burned in 1917. It was quickly rebuilt, and was later known as Central Elementary.[5][6]
The current Vassar Middle/High School opened in fall 1961.[7] The current Central Elementary opened in fall 1995.[8]
