Fairmont Senior High School was established in 1876. The school was relocated in 1905 and 1928 respectively to accommodate a growing student population. Serving grades nine through twelve, it is one of three high schools currently active in Marion County, with the other two schools being East Fairmont High School and North Marion High School.[6]

History

1876-1905: Second Ward Building
Second Ward Building: the original building to house Fairmont Senior, which was built in 1872 and began to house Fairmont Senior in 1876.

The first building to house Fairmont High School was the Second Ward Building on the corner of Adams and Quincy. The building was constructed in 1872. Between 1872 and 1892, the building jointly held the Fairmont's public schools and normal schools. This is despite the public school and normal department's separation in 1875.

Fairmont High School was founded in the Second Ward Building in 1876, and the first graduating class consisted of four students in 1877. Increased enrollment and the need for additional facilities eventually lead to the construction of a new school.

1905-1928: "The Point" building
"The Point" building: the second building to house Fairmont Senior, which was built in 1905.

In 1905, a new building was constructed at "The Point", consisting of 12 classrooms, labs, offices and a library with the top floor used as a gymnasium. The first class attended the new Fairmont High School in 1906. A gymnasium was constructed at the rear of the building in 1922, and although the high school no longer stands, the Fifth Street Gym is still in operation for interscholastic purposes. The old building remained in operation as Fairmont Junior High School until 1963 when the foundation of the building slipped, forcing its closure.

1928-present: Loop Park building
Loop Park building: the current building to house Fairmont Senior, which was built in 1928.

In 1927, Fairmont Senior's school system decided to adopt a 6-3-3 organization for schools in the area. This meant that grades 7-9 would make up a junior high school, while grades 10-12 would create a senior high school.

A new senior high school was built at Loop Park in 1928, which is where Fairmont Senior High School currently resides. The seventh and eighth grades were relocated to Dunbar School on High Street. Much of the new building was constructed of concrete, which helped to mitigate the destruction caused by a fire that damaged a large section of the school's roof on February 16, 1979. The foundation of the building was preserved.

Architect William B. Ittner designed the Loop Park building;[7] he has designed several notable public school buildings[8] and other buildings, such as the Missouri Athletic Club building[9] and the Continental Life Building.[10] On March 22, 2002, Fairmont Senior was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[4][11]

Campus

The campus currently consists of several different components, such as a main building, the Freshman Building, physical education facilities, and inscriptions. The campus is surrounded by different types of trees, such as dogwoods, maples, and oaks. The Loop Park building's architectural classification is Colonial Revival, with a stone foundation, brick walls, and asphalt shingle roofing.

Senior Court
A statue of Abraham Lincoln in front of the now-defunct Senior Court. Senior Court was later replaced by a media center.

Senior Court was a feature of the Loop Park building for years. This light court was bound on all sides by interior walls of the school, but it did not have a ceiling. The opening provided sunlight to the surrounding halls and classrooms, as well as the small glass greenhouse located just inside the court.

In 1929, the first class to graduate from the building presented the school with a statue of Abraham Lincoln that still stands at the school's entrance.

Media center replacement

In 2010, a school bond was passed by the Marion County Board of Education to renovate Fairmont Senior's campus.[12] This $4.2 million project included replacing the Senior Court with a school media center.[13] The project took a few years to complete.[12] Unlike the Senior Court, the media center has a ceiling and is a two-story room with a balcony.[14]

Auditorium

Fairmont Senior's Lop auditorium originally housed 1107 opera style chairs and a 16 by 50-foot (15 m) wooden stage. Later, when the stage was expanded, the first four rows of seating were removed leaving 976 seats. By the start of the 20th century, many of the seats were in poor condition and needed to be replaced. The 1000 Voices fund was established to restore the auditorium to its original state. In 2001, the seats were dismantled and sent away to be completely refurbished and reinstalled into the auditorium. Intricate details such as the gold leaf ribbons on the house lighting globes was also preserved, as well as detailed paintings on the proscenium arch.

Freshman Building

Fairmont Senior has a one-story building located at the east end of its campus, which is known as the Freshman Building.[7] In the early 1990s, a chemistry lab was built adjacent to the Freshman Building.[15]

Physical education facilities

Originally, Fairmont Senior only had one gymnasium, which was located on the second floor of the main building. In November 1989, a proposal was made for a new physical education facility beside Fairmont Senior's Freshman Building. Work for the facility began in 1992. Despite objections and a lawsuit from area residents, the facility was completed a few years later.[16]

Inscriptions

Fairmont Senior's building has several inscriptions that can be found etched into the stone at various locations on the exterior of the main building.

Mascot

The mascot of Fairmont Senior High School is the Polar Bear. Originally, Fairmont Senior's athletic teams were known as "Ice's Men", which was in reference to Coach Frank Ice who coached the school's athletic teams from 1914 to 1920. In 1926, the Polar Bear mascot was officially established in honor of Ice. West Fairmont Middle School's, a Fairmont Senior feeder school, mascot is the Polar Cubs[76] or Polar Bears Cubs[77] (a reference to Fairmont's Senior's mascot).

Two polar bear statues stand at the entrance of Fairmont Senior, a donation by Fairmont Senior's class of 1972.

Fairmont Senior is one of three AA high schools in Marion County, along with East Fairmont High School and North Marion High School.[78] East Fairmont High School and Fairmont Senior's football teams have met annually beginning on October 25, 1921,[79] making the series one of the oldest in the state.[80]

As of November 2009, Fairmont Senior leads the series 59-28-7; three scoreless ties and 27 shutouts have been recorded throughout the rivalry's history.[81]

The Polar Bear football,[82] soccer, lacrosse, and track teams all practice and perform off-campus at East-West Stadium. The stadium was built in the 1930s with Works Progress Administration (a New Deal program) funding.[83] The facility includes a football/soccer/lacrosse field, track, and a swimming pool.
