The smaller school, Webster High School, opened in 1910 when Webster was still the county seat, in a newly built two story frame building. This building lasted until 1936, when the old Rock Webster School opened next door, and it was demolished in 1937. The new school housed all of Webster's schoolchildren and also the high school students from Savannah Township until 1960, after which it became an elementary school; it closed in 1974 when Fairview School opened. It still stands but the original windows and doors were removed and smaller ones took their places, and the old, tall ceilings are hidden under a drop in ceiling. It serves Southwestern Child Development Center, which is a free preschool, and the Jackson County Family Resources Center. Its gymnasium serves as a kind of community center.
