History

edit

It consolidates Mosheim, McDonald, Glenwood, and Warrensburg schools. Warrensburg is no longer open. Mosheim High School was closed when WGHS opened in 1966. Mosheim High School occupied a larger campus than WGHS but served grades 1-12 with an enrollment of around 1000 students. In 1966, Mosheim High became Mosheim Elementary and continues to serve grades K-8. In 1973, the large "Old Mosheim High School" building was demolished to make way for a smaller, open-classroom elementary school.
