History
The first school in the Evergreen area was the Buffalo Park School, which now resides on the grounds of Wilmot Elementary School. In the late 19th century, a frame structure was built one-quarter mile south of Main Street and served as a school until 1923. It houses Evergreen Baptist Church.
Elementary and high school students were housed in the third school built in Evergreen, a red brick two-story structure located at the intersection of county highway 73 and Buffalo Park Road. It was built in 1922 when District 30 became C2, the second consolidation in Jefferson County. An adjacent white masonry building was built in 1944 for the high school and the first class graduated from the newly christened high school in 1948.
The school quickly outgrew its building and a new building was erected southwest of the bus barn at the intersection of Olive Road and Buffalo Park Road, opening in 1954.[4] The building grew through additions as needed, creating a somewhat haphazard layout until the structure was unified with a "main street" layout during major renovations in the late 1990s.
