Central Ward School in 1921
The grade school in Ranger before Hodges, Young, & Cooper was called
Central Ward School. It was located at the corner of Elm and Hodges
Street, south of the high school near downtown Ranger. During the oil
boom, a dormitory was located north of the school to provide housing
for teachers who were in great demand. The school building was torn
down later. Part of it was moved to the new high school downtown &
became the band hall.
