History
Webster Groves High School was first established in 1889 as a ninth grade course. The school originally occupied the first floor of the original white frame Bristol School building, then known as Webster School; the elementary school took up the second floor. As enrollment increased, the high school used hallways and storerooms as supplementary classrooms. Eventually, they rented space in the Congregational Church, and the Brannon Building. In 1905, the entire high school was moved to the second floor of the Brannon Building.
In 1905, citizens started recognizing the need for a new high school for Webster Groves, so they voted for a $40,000 bond issue to purchase the site where it currently stands 100 Selma Avenue, and build the school. The building was completed in 1907.
