History

The original Broadway School was a small, one-room building that opened in the mid 1870s and was taught by C. E. Barglebaugh, just eighteen years old. Four rooms were added over the years, but it burned down in 1907. A brick building with a library, office, auditorium, and six rooms replaced it. A high school was built adjacent to thttp://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&type=signuphat building in 1920, and grade school and high school were divided. A new high school was built in the 1950s, west of the town. J. Frank Hillyard, the principal of that school, is remembered by the name the school now goes by, J. Frank Hillyard Middle School. That school became a middle school when, in January 1998, a new Broadway High was built on Springbrook Road, where it stands today. A time capsule was buried in 1992 by the SCA to mark the old school's (current Middle School's) 40th anniversary. The time capsule will be opened in 2032.
