The present high school serving the area is the Jenkins County High School, in Millen.
The main building was built in 1922, and was designed by Augusta architects Scroggs & Ewing. It is a two-story T-shaped wood-frame building with a brick veneer. It has Classical Revival elements.[2]
A second, one-story L-shaped building was built during 1941–1943. It was started as a Works Progress Administration-funded project, and it served as an elementary school.[2]
A lunchroom building was built in 1962 in between the other two buildings, and linked by covered walkways.[2]
All three buildings in the historic school building complex have been demolished.[3]
Debris from the demolition of the Old Primary School was burned in April 2011.[4]
