Construction on the new Summerville High School was completed in late 1944. The classrooms were opened to students in January 1945. Behind the school you can see the lights for the football stadium.
"As a small token of our gratitude, appreciation, and imperishible friendship, for the kind understanding you have given us individually, for all you have done to make this a better school for us, and for your belief and trust in each of us, we the seniors of 1950, dedicate this, the third edition of the Sequoyah, to our sponsor, teacher, and friend, Mrs. C.L. Rudicil."
