A construction crew on July 19 cuts out one of two signs emblazoned over the front doors of the Culbertson, Nebraska, public school building, which is being partially demolished to build a new elementary building. Plans are to repurpose the signs into benches and integrate them into the new building.

  • It is a sad day for all of us who are alumni of Culbertson High School. My family graduated 3 generations from that school. What a shame we can't make it 4!!!!

  • My Mother, her sisters and brother, my 6 sisters and brothers, my 2 kids all gradulated from Culbertson. When I was 9 months old my Aunt Elise took me with her to play practice.I have life long friends that I started kindergarten with. Oh what stories that building could tell. Shame is we will not be able to hear them now.

  • The school isn't going away, just improved for future generations. The consolidation process is not one easily circumvented. Just because a student doesn't graduate from that building structure doesn't mean they cease to be a student OF it.

    As with anything, with time comes change, and change isn't always bad..... look at the Grand Canyon. What was once a less than note worthy land, became spectacular. Time changes things, often those that refuse to change with it, end up falling behind, an outcome that no one wishes upon the youth of this nation.
