History
[edit]Rockport has had four different high school buildings. The Old Rockport High School was built in 1865 and now serves as the Rockport Community Center. The second building, located at 4 Broadway, was built in 1925 and served the school system in a variety of capacities until 1988. That structure was designed by the architecture firm J. Williams Beal, Sons. The high school was moved in the 1960s to the George Tarr School, a converted 1904 textile mill building, adjacent to the 1925 building. Rockport High moved into its present facility at 24 Jerdens Lane in 1988.[6]
Both the 1865 and 1925 buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[5]
