With the opening of the new school buildings out near Trebein, anyone know what's to be done with some of the old schools?
I'm especially interested in the building we used to know as "Main Elementary" on Dayton-Xenia Rd. This building was at one time Beavercreek High School as well. I don't think I've been in that school since I left the 6th grade in late 60s, but remember thinking even then it was a beautiful building. Would hate to think it's going to be torn down.

I went to Ferguson (sp?) Jr High in 60 then New High School 61-65. We had band practice in Main Elem when I was at Ferguson and it was indeed a cool old school. If I remember right, those were the only schools in Beavercreek back then??? I lived near where Fairfield Commons Mall is now. How many schools are there in 'creek now? Speaking of old schools, I remember when the copany I worked for in about 67 bought the OLD school building that was where the Ice Cream place is now across from the old diner East of the High School. It was a Studebaker dealership back then.

Yep, the Marshall Brothers owned that dealeship. That building sat empty for years before it opened as a steak house in the early 90s. It eventually burnt down a few years later under suspious circumstances.

Main Elementary still has the original sign at the top of the building that says "Beavercreek School", because at the time it was built, in 1932, I think K-12 was all taught in that building. My sons went there and now they go to the new school, Trebein. But Main is not being torn down, no. The new school complex (an elementary and a middle school on the same campus) was built due to overcrowding. Before this current school year, Main had just about 1000 students from K-5th grade.
The facility at Main was greatly expanded in the year 2000, but the original building was left pretty much intact, and as far as I know, it will stay that way. They just built an enlarged parking area directly in front of the school, but other than that, it's unchanged.
And I agree with you, Calhoun, it's a neat old building. I've been through it many times over the course of the four years that my older son attended there.
