South Hamilton District's
New School Dedication and Open House
December 29, 1968
Believing in the school as an institution
established to continue, improve, and to keep our American Way of Live,
we dedicate this junior-senior high school building. To the
achievement of these objectives with our youth and adults, we dedicate
our new high school building.

1. - Students are looking from the balcony into the resouce area.
Balconies and stairways leading from the second floor rooms into the resource
certer are carpeted to create an atmosphere suitable for this kind of area.

for student relaxation.
This area is provided in the spacious lobby entrance. On either
side of this circular lobby are the
secondary offices and the central district offices
-
3. - This part of the balcony overlooks the large lobby entrance
area. From this vantage point one can see the entire entrance area,
counter space for the central offices, and to the rear all classrooms on
both the first and second floors can be observed.

A Word of Apreciation - The Board of Education wishes to express its
appreciation to everyone in the South Hamilton Community School District
for the support, encouragement and patience they have shown on the long,
arduous road toward the completion of our junior-senior high school
-
Credit for the project can be given to no singular person or group.
If we were to start naming infividuals who have contributed in time and
effort beyond what is routinely expected, the list would be endless.
Without this outstanding help and support, the project could not have become
a reality.
-
This building is truly a credit to those who live in our school district
and a personal reward to those who contributed in some special way to the
fruition of the plan.
