In 1912, four rural schools in the Hope, Odom, Marion, and Ena communities were consolidated to form the H.O.M.E. school. The next year, 173 students in ten grades relocated to the three-story Big Level School. In 1927, that school became the H.O.M.E. Vocational High, and in 1936 the National Youth Administration built a 50' x 150' concrete block classroom building on the ten-acre campus, which included a gymnasium. Known for basketball, the H.O.M.E. school closed in 1972 when the students were transferred to Wiggins.
