Salisbury-Elk Lick High School
In 1954 the New Junior-Senior High School building was built at a cost
of $550,000.00. Located on Smith Avenue, it is constructed of concrete
block and brick-cases. The new school was occupied for the first time
on January 21, 1955. This new building consisted of six class rooms
and special rooms for the commercial department, library, homemaking,
music, art, geography and science, and a suite of rooms for industrial
arts, cafeteria, boys' and girls' locker rooms, and a conference room,
and a suite of three office rooms and a gymnasium--auditorium seating
seven hundred people. Francis A. Showalter was the principal during that year.
