About Kelvyn Park High School

Kelvyn Park began as an elementary school in 1918. Before that time, the land contained 19 portable units that were connected to the Nixon school. In 1925, a Jr. High was organized in the building to relieve pressure at Schurz High School which was overcrowded at the time. In 1927, some of the Kelvyn Park elementary students were siphoned off to the newly constructed Barry Elementary School. In 1933, Kelvyn Park became a high school, however, elementary students remained until 1936.
