GRADE SCHOOLS THAT MADE UP CAMPUS HIGH SCHOOL

Campus High School opened in the fall of 1960. It was formed to serve the elementary schools of Haysville, Oatville, South Riverside and Enterprise.

HISTORY OF HAYSVILLE SCHOOL (from HaysvilleOnline.com)

School dist. number 57, Haysville's first school was built in 1876 at a location that may have been near what are now the Water Department facilities. This building was moved to 79th and Seneca where it was eventually replaced by the red brick building in 1919. In 1946 district 57 was consolidated with district 187 to form district 261.
Haysville's entire historic district was destroyed in the 1999 tornado. Destruction of the historic buildings began at the red brick schoolhouse at 79th and Seneca and continued north along Main taking out the elevator, bank, churches and more. The only thing left standing on the east side of Main was the original bank vault.

HISTORY OF OATVILLE SCHOOL

The first Oatville School was a two-room school located at the northwest corner of MacArthur Rd. and West Street in southwest Wichita, near the small community of Oatville. In 1956, the present Oatville Elementary was opened on South Hoover and the principal lived on the campus in a small white house, located directly north of the building.
Oatville then had classes for Kindergarten through eight grade. School buses have since provided transportation for children to the rural elementary school. In 1967, Oatville was unified with the Haysville School District and the seventh and eighth graders were transferred to Haysville Junior High.

HISTORY OF SOUTH RIVERSIDE SCHOOL

William Allen White Elementary School was previously named South Riverside Jr. High School and later was South Riverside Intermediate School. From 1960 to 1964 Riverside School was a feeder school for Campus High School. Due to annexation of almost all of the school district by the Wichita City Commission, the South Riverside Elementary School Dist. became part of the Wichita Public School System in 1964.
