With the influx of Ingalls shipyard workers, Moss Point and Pascagoula were among the few Mississippi cities to build schools during World War II. At the southeast corner of the site facing Weems Street, the strongly horizontal, brick, two-story classroom wing with entrance tower has steel-framed ribbon windows, concrete stringcourses, and flat roofs. Farther north, the auditorium has a concrete canopy with supporting fins pierced by porthole-like openings. Across the street at 4912 Weems stands the neoclassical revival Dantzler Memorial United Methodist Church (1914, William Drago).
