1890 - 1961

This monument is dedicated to all the teachers and students who attended this school. Built in 1890 and completed in 1892, was known as Monterey Academy, and was a two room one story building that housed grades one through eight. In the school year 1905 and 1906 there was an explosion and the school had to be rebuilt, and a second story was added and still housed eight grades. Then the school was known as the Monterey School. The brick and the fire ring were the original part of the school. The Monterey School was razed April 19, 1972.
