In the next decade, another new building, the Rusk Building or the "Old Red Building," was added to the school complex on Washington Square. These two structures housed the high school classes and other classes until a new high school building, the "White Building," was constructed in 1939 as a WPA project during the New Deal era. Adults who were students in Nacogdoches High School at the time this building was constructed vividly remember carrying their own desks and books across campus to the new building when it was completed.
