"The Laura Speed Elliot School was built in l915 on land donated to the board of Education by John S. Elliot as a memorial to his deceased wife. Recognized as one of the finest high school structures in the State at that time, the building including furniture and
equipment cost $85,000. The original school building contained 25 rooms. To meet the needs of an expanding student body the south addition was completed in 1939 and included a new auditorium
gymnasium and music room. The building remained as a high school until Sept. 1979 when the new High School was completed. At that time Laura Speed Elliot became the location of the Junior High School." ~ Boonville Historic Survey PDF pages 2015-2020
