Cotter High School, high school in Arkansas, United States
Cotter High School is a public school in Arkansas listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The building features simple architecture with sturdy walls and large windows that allow natural light to fill the classrooms.
The school was built in the late 1930s with help from the Works Progress Administration, a job program during the Great Depression. After a fire destroyed the original building in 1973, the community rebuilt and completed a new school in 1976, which continues to serve students today.
The school carries the name of the town of Cotter and served as a gathering place for the community for generations. School events and sports matches brought residents together and shaped local traditions.
The school sits in a quiet rural setting on North Street, creating a peaceful learning environment. The campus is easy to access on foot and located in an area with trees and sidewalks.
The original school building included a gymnasium built from 1936 to 1938 and funded by the same federal program that paid for the school itself. This historic gym on Powell Street is separately listed on the National Register of Historic Places and now serves as a youth activity center.
