It was established in 1856. A two-story building was constructed for it. It grew over time to 3-stories and a second building was added. It served as a co-ed elementary school and had a high school for girls. It integrated in 1955. The school's last class graduated in 1977 and the school building was redeveloped as senior housing.

The school appeared on a postcard sent in 1911. The building is in the Licking Riverside Historic District.
