I've listed this article for peer review because I desperately want this article to become a good or possibly even a featured article. I have worked extremely hard on this article and I would like another opinion on how to improve it. I am extremely grateful for any advice or help on the article. Thank you SO much.

Quick comment by doncram Hi. I checked whether the old high school building was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places and found that indeed it was, in 1996. So I added an NRHP infobox to the article. It suggests that 1910 was the building date (or another significant date) in contradiction to other info in the article now. You should request a free copy of the NRHP application (and associated photographs) by email to email address: nr_reference at nps.gov (provide your postal mailing address). If it is in electronic form they will email it, otherwise will send by postal mail. This will be a very useful source for you to develop the early history section of the article. NRHP applications are usually written by professional historians.Good luck! doncram ( talk) 01:27, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
Ruhrfisch comments: While it is clear that a lot of work has gone into this article, there are many areas that need to be improved before it is ready for GA, let alone FA. With a future WP:FAC in mind (shoot for the stars), here are some suggestions for improvement.
Hope this helps. If my comments are useful, please consider peer reviewing an article, especially one at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog (which is how I found this article). Yours, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 17:15, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
