St. Michael School

 Pictured here is the first of three schools to bear this name.  Originally built in 1872, this building contained but four rooms with two grades to each room.  Guardian of the German language and culture, this school was financed by St. Michael Parish and staffed by the Sisters from the Oldenburg, Indiana convent.  A second, more modern school was erected on the same site in 1912.  It was recognized that this second school building had become antiquated by 1950 and plans were made for a new addition and complete remodeling of the existing structure.  The newly remodeled building was completed and ready for classes in 1956.
