The old college buildings remained in their previous locations and the prosperous little town of Kilgore was without educational facilities but a short time. Kilgore Public Academy, a school of ten grades, continued until the present site was donated and a red brick building was constructed in 1912. It was in that year that Kilgore High School assumed its present name and received its first aid from the state.

In the winter of 1933 we moved into our present $250,000 building where we have the choice of 30 credited units.

In summarizing our progress, let us compare the faculty and senior class of '35 with that of the first in 1912. In 1912 Kilgore High School was taught by a faculty of four and the graduating class numbered three. In 1935 the faculty consists of twenty-five in the High School alone, while the graduating class numbers 125 from a student body of 800.
