The school was opened in 1909 on County Street facing straight down William Street on land that once was occupied by the estate of Charles W. Morgan, of whaling fame.
Previously the same location was the where the farm house was of the founder of New Bedford, Joseph Russell.
It later had an addition in 1935 when the school had an enrollment of 2,684 pupils.
