Built in 1910 - Dismantled in 1945

— Affectionately known as "Sunset School" —

Sunset School was a beautiful two and one half story building made of brick and stone
In 1902 oil was eighteen to twenty cents a barrel. In 1905, oil advanced to forty cents a barrel and in the fall of 1908, oil raised to sixty-two and one-half cents a barrel.
Coalinga was the typical western mining camp - instead of gold or silver it was oil.
With the greater profits of 1907-09 also came a greater stability. Better homes were built and the shack era passed away. Along with prosperity came the pride in community, to build the best schools in the land,
"Grammar School, Sunset Style"
