Constructed in 1924 and accredited in 1928, Old Sopchoppy High School was the first high school built in Wakulla County. Its original stucco section, an "H"-shaped design with one central area and three classrooms on each side, became possible after Sopchoppy citizens voted in 1921 for a bond issue to cover construction costs. In the 1930's, the New Deal's Works Progress Administration used local labor to build the first limestone addition, with two wings of seven classrooms and the present auditorium. The limestone portions are characteristic of Spanish mission construction and exemplify 1930s master craftsmanship. In 1938-39, a second limestone addition was built in a north-south direction with three classrooms and an adjoining hallway. Across the street, the Spanish mission style gymnasium, also built during this period, has been restored for private, cultural, and civic events. The school was integrated in 1966-67 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The building is architecturally significant for its style and for the master craftsmanship used in cutting its 18- to 20-inch-thick walls of native limestone mined approximately 12 miles north of Sopchoppy.
