Wichita High School North

My Mother went to North High School when there were only two high schools in Wichita. It is a lovely old school and a finalist in the 8 wonders of Kansas Art contest.

In 1928 fifteen acres were purchased and North High was started. The architecture is modern American style and native Kansas artist Bruce Moore designed the colorful full size figures that

decorate the school, tower and bridge next to the school. The designs depict frontier days with an Indian Chief prominently displayed at each corner of the entrance and an Indian scout on the tower. Other designs include a buffalo head, eagle, bow and arrow, sunflower, and Indian tepee.
