"By the late 1930s, W.G. (“Bill”) Austin had replaced Fred P. Austin as principal and district superintendent. Bill Austin served in both capacities until 1945, when he became superintendent of Chandler schools and another man was hired as high school principal. This man was W. Wilson, who served from 1945 to 1947. He was followed by Homer Elledge, who served one year. In 1948, Harry L. White was hired as principal, and he occupied the post for many years".
