History. - The Draper High School is under the control of the Leaksville Township Public School Administrative Unit. The building was completed in 1939 and opened its doors as a Junior High School for the 1939-40 term, enrolling students from the first three high school grades. Until this time the high school students from Draper attended the Leaksville High School. The Draper School became a full-fledged four year high school in 1940-41 and has operated as such since that time. During the first two years of its operation the energy and attention of the administration were necessarily directed to physical problems and the securing of necessary equipment fundamental for the successful operation of the school. These first years were followed by the world crisis and war. During this period the greatest problem of the school, characteristic of so many schools throughout the country, was personnel. It was extremely difficult to find properly trained teachers to work for the inadequate salaries that the community was paying. As a result little could be done other than establish the conventional high school program
