History

Piper USD #203 History.[12]

Piper Rural High School District #1

3130 North 122 Street, Kansas City, Kansas

At the close of the school year of 1919 a community meeting was held and plans for a rural high school in Piper, Kansas were discussed. At the time of this meeting there was no rural high school in Wyandotte County, Kansas. Piper Rural High School District #1 was organized with James Glenn as director, William Einhellig as clerk and W. B. Vining serving as treasurer of the board. This board was given authority to go ahead and map out the boundaries of District #1 and issue bonds for the erection of a new building. It was decided the district boundaries should extend as far west as the Wyandotte/Leavenworth County line and north, east and south to the “opposition,” that is, to a line bounding territory where there would be opposition to voting bonds for the school. Thus the district’s lines are a little irregular. District #1 as platted at that time had a valuation of $1,800,000. One-room elementary schools Brauer, Center Point, Island Creek, Maywood, Piper, Pleasant Ridge, Wallula and Wolcott were located in the district boundaries. Each elementary school was governed by a board of education consisting of three members. In the fall of 1919 the Piper Rural High School District #1 was opened with an enrollment of 65 pupils in the Woodsman Hall located at approximately 12129 Russell Avenue in Piper, Kansas. The first principal was F. C. Marks. During World War I the federal government asked the state of Kansas to send six of their best educators to France to instruct the soldiers during the war. Mr. Marks was one of the six. On his return to the United States, Piper Rural High School District #1 was fortunate enough to secure him as the first principal. In March of 1920 the Woodsman Hall burned, so the board purchased canvas and divided the church in Piper into four rooms and continued school for the remainder of the year. The first class graduated in May of 1920. This class graduated the following four students: Delila Barker, Mike Einhellig, Helen Freedle and Dwight Vining.

In the fall of 1920 the school was moved to the new building with George B. Owens as principal. In 1951 a new gymnasium was added to the existing building. This bond issue passed by only one vote. At the time of this bond issue the total enrollment of Piper Rural High School District #1 was approximately 20 students.
