Oak Terrace School
has been a landmark in Highwood since 1916. It was built due to overcrowding
at the Highwood School, which was located at 205 High Street. Nine acres
of land were purchased from Lewis A. Pease at a cost of $3,500. The
school was completed in 1916 and consisted of the main auditorium (formerly
our Media Center/Library) and six classrooms. When the school opened,
there were 187 students and six teachers.
The two-story building exhibits a 'prairie-style' look influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright. The 85,000 square foot brick building includes 28 classrooms, a 6,000 square foot gym, a 3,400 square foot multi - purpose room, a cafeteria, two art rooms and a music room. Construction on the state-of-the-art building began in June 2000, with the building completed fall 2001. The transformation of Oak Terrace to a school with a world-wide class facility was a priority of the 1997 referendum approved by the voters. |
