In the late 1940's, the enrollment dropped to 13 students in the school, so only one room was used again. One reason for the drop in enrollment was that parochial schools teaching all eight grades started to be built. Subdivisions also started to be built in the Trevor area.
In 1952, two rooms were added to the North end of the 1910 building. A new heating system, boys and girls restrooms, and a full basement were added. The basement was also used for a kitchen, cafeteria, storage room, and a small performance area. There were two grades per room and four teachers. Hot lunches started to be served in 1953. This addition is still in use today.
By 1962, the enrollment jumped to 185 students. In 1963, the 1910 wooden building was torn down and six classrooms, a gymnasium with a stage, three office spaces, and ground floor boys and girls restrooms were added. This addition cost $185,000.
Late 20th Century...
In 1973, Kindergarten was offered for the first time. Mrs. Marescale set up our Kindergarten on the small stage in the basement. A wooden railing was installed across the front of the stage. In 1978, the school district purchased a single classroom from Wilmot Grade School, moved it to Trevor, and attached it to the West end of the classrooms. Kindergarten was then moved to this single classroom, and was used until the last addition in 1993. The school library was then set up on the stage. The student enrollment was about 120 students and stayed at that level for many year.
