The pupils in east Bemidji, from the first to the sixth grades, until the new building is completed, will attend school in the Poor Farm building, as they did last year. (Sept 5, 1910)
The East School was established just after World War I in Nymore on what became Fifth Street NE in Nymore village. Its pupils came from east Nymore and parts of Bemidji Township. The earliest building had two rooms. Horse-drawn wagons and sleighs brought the pupils to school. The East School closed in 1932.

The old East School wormed its way slowly up Bemidji Avenue enroute to its new home on the high school athletic field where it would serve as a field house. (Dec 21, 1936)
