The first building, constructed in 1926, was the Main Building which houses administrative offices, classrooms, the auditorium, and the cafeteria. The Main Building serves grades 9-12. Riegel Stadium, completed in 1931, contains the football field, the baseball field, and the Field House. The gymnasium was completed in the 1940s. The Agricultural facilities are contained in its basement. The Darby Building opened in 1951 and now serves grades 7 and 8. Finished in 1955, the band building was the last facility built by the mill. In 1998-99 the Ware Shoals Community Library was completed. The library serves as the school and community library. This facility was made possible through a combination of private and public funds and was one of the first of its kind in the nation.
