1932 School Building

Dedicated in September 1932, this building contained classrooms, offices, and an auditorium, consolidating functions that had previously been scattered among other buildings. The large gym hosted assemblies, school dances, and sporting events. This building served as the main school building from its opening until the school closed in 1958. According to Pawnee Business Council President Robert L. Chapman, when the building was used as a nursing home during the 1960s, interior doorways were widened to accommodate transfer of beds. The 1932 School Building was renovated in 1976 and is now leased from the tribe by the Bureau of Indian Affairs for the administrative offices of the Pawnee Agency.
