Huntley

          The building which bears Mr. Huntley's name honors a shop teacher who taught at the high school during the first three decades of this century. Appropriately, the Huntley building, built in 1955, houses activity-centered courses such as music, wood shop, technology and auto shop. 

 

Phillips

  The building honoring Mr. Phillips was opened in 1963.  James Philips was a judge in Aberdeen from 1928 until 1951. An outstanding athlete who played football at Carlisle during his younger years, he maintained a keen interest in the education of young people all his life.

 

Sam Benn Gym

  The gymnasium, named for Mr. Samuel Benn, was opened in 1964. Recognized as the founder of Aberdeen, he was instrumental in laying out the current city and served as an early mayor. In 1884, Mr. Benn served on the first Aberdeen School Board during territorial days when Aberdeen was part of Chehalis County.

 

5th Street Gym

          The Auditorium, 5th Street gym, and Bobcat Hall were once part of the Miller Junior High School. These buildings were renovated in 1981 and then added to the expanding high school campus.

    Weatherwax (prior to 1/5/02)
       The red brick building is named in honor of John M. Weatherwax, an early homesteader along the Wishkah and Chehalis Rivers. He was a pioneer lumber man and, with Samuel Benn, platted much of downtown Aberdeen. J.M. Weatherwax died in 1896. Four of his descendants served in later years on the Aberdeen School Board. The Weatherwax building was opened in 1909 and destroyed by fire in 2002.
