Seaford High School opened on September 3, 1929, replacing an older structure destroyed by fire on April 1, 1928. Philanthropist P.S. du Pont funded construction of the new state-of-the-art facility at a cost of $300,000. At first, it educated white students in grades 1-12, including many from rural communities who had previously attended one-room schools. As Seaford grew, the district added separate elementary and junior high schools in the 1950s. The building remained the high school and was desegregated in September 1961. After a new Seaford High opened in September 1966, this building became Seaford Middle School.
