Pampa High School Truck Plan Spurs Growth in Grey County
The Pampa consolidated school district, spanning twelve by fifteen miles, reports success with bus transport using six Ford trucks costing $9,000 each. A new high school building with a gymnasium, domestic science rooms, and a 500-seat auditorium opens last year, while Hoover and King's Mill serve primary and grammar students. The plan aims to attract older students, improve attendance, and allow home living with high school training, with two more buses hoped for this fall.
