Project Overview

In 1918, construction began on the very first White Bear High School building. For decades, the building served students, first as a high school, then as Central Junior High. Today it is the site of the White Bear Lake District Center office. Join us to see photos of the transformation of the building and hear stories of some of its students as we celebrate 100 years of the original White Bear High School.
