LISHED ON THE ROUTE OF THE SANTA
FE RAILROAD, WHICH DEEDED LAND TO
THE CITY FOR A SCHOOL.  THE FIRST
SCHOOL BUILDING, A 2-R00M FRAME
STRUCTURE ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF
THE RAILROAD TRACKS, WAS COM-
PLETED IN 1892. MISS CLEMIE KING
WAS THE FIRST TEACHER; ENROLLMENT
TOTALED 35 PUPILS.  A NEW 2-STORY
STONE STRUCTURE, BUILT ON THE NORTH
SIDE OF THE TRACKS IN 1903, REPLACED
THE FIRST BUILDING.  OVER THE YEARS
THE SCHOOL SYSTEM HAS GROWN
AND BUILT ADDITIONAL FACILITIES.
NINE OTHER AREA SCHOOLS HAVE CON-
SOLIDATED WITH THE BANGS SCHOOL
SYSTEM SINCE ITS FOUNDING.
