[edit] History
The original Broadway School was a small, one room building that opened in the mid 1870s and was taught by C. E. Barglebaugh, just eighteen years old. Four rooms were added over the years, but it burned down in 1907. A brick building with a library, office, auditorium, and six rooms replaced it. A high school was built adjacent to that building in 1920, and grade school and high school were divided. A new high school was built in the 1950s, west of the town. J. Frank Hillyard, the principal of that school, is remembered by the name the school now goes by, J. Frank Hillyard Middle School. That school became a middle school when, in January of 1998, a new Broadway High was built on Springbrook Road, where it stands today. [1]
