Marsh and constructed in 1914. It housed around 450 students a year until closing in the late fifties after the construction of a new high school. The building is three stories and is noted for having a ground-level entrance on each floor. After closing as a high school, the building began to serve as offices for Cochise County, such as the district library, the health department for a time, elections, and adult probation services. Today,the building is vacant and waiting to be renovated into an apartment complex. ^{[3] [4]} During some recent construction, the job supervisor was shot and killed by a disgruntled former employee outside the Old Bisbee High School. It appears the matter is still under investigation. ^[5]
