The History of Ashmore High School
 
Ashmore (population 809) is located in lower eastern Illinois in the east central portion of Coles County. Ashmore sits about seven miles northeast of Charleston on Illinois Route 16. County Highway 3 also travels through Ashmore. The town was platted in 1855 and named after one of its earliest settlers, H.J. Ashmore. According to a Wikipedia webpage (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashmore_Estates) Ashmore is home to one of Illinois' most haunted buildings, the Ashmore Estates. 
 
The Illinois Geneology website (http://genealogytrails.com/ill/coles/chapter8.html) advises that Ashmore established a school for its children very early in its existence. A school building was built in the 1850s  An official school district organized in 1869. We believe a curriculum for high school students was established in the late 1800s. 
 
A newspaper article from the Journal Gazette - Times Courier of Mattoon and Charleston (http://www.jg-tc.com/articles/1998/04/08/news/news-76247.txt) states that the school districts of eastern Coles County agreed to consolidate their efforts into one district.  According to the article, beginning in 1947 Illinois legislation called for a school district to have an average attendance of 10 students per day in order to receive state-aid. Individual districts had until 1949 to comply.
 
Ashmore residents agreed to the united community school district of eastern Coles County. The district was formed, by popular vote, in July of 1948.  The high school students of the area, including those of Ashmore, would now be attending school in Charleston.
 
The fate of the original Ashmore High School building is needed. Ashmore is home to an elementary school for students in grades K - 4.

Athletics and Extra-Curriculars 
 
We are fairly certain that the boys of Ashmore High participated in interscholastic athletics.  It is probable that the boys played basketball, baseball, and track.  The coach's names and team records are needed.  Also needed are the team colors, fight song, and team nickname.
 
Other activities such as proms, dances, class plays, farmer's institutes, and various clubs may have been a part of the Ashmore High School experience as well.  We are hopeful an area fan or alumni can help us with this information.
