- In 1913, an addition was built; two rooms in the north and
four rooms on the second story, making a eight room building. The
janitor lived in the basement which was quite a common practice in
those days.

the fall of 1920.
- The fall of 1950 saw school opening with a three classroom
addition and several rooms remodeled or renovated.
- Jefferson's school program was enhanced by the development of
a media center in the basement on the late 1950's or early 1960's.

acquired. The building was designed with the open concept in mind.
The new school would preserve the newer section of the old school
built in 1950.

breaking ceremony on November 1, 1972.

moved into these locations for the last two months of school in
1972.

a new year in a new school in August of 1973. A formal dedication
was held November 11.
