Bartlesville Public School Facilities

This elementary school, with its original entrance near First and Rogers, was constructed in 1914 for $28,600. A 1920 addition cost $31,000, there was a $5,550 addition in 1929, and an all-purpose room was added in 1952 for $78,136. It was closed in 1983 when the new Jane Phillips elementary school opened. It was sold in 1984, and became the home of Service and Technology Corporation in 1986.

The B.L.E.S.S. scholarship was established in 1988 by K. Vasudevan in remembrance of this school, its teachers, and students. The $150,000 scholarship fund, raised by 1994 with much of it coming from Service and Technology and its staff, provides a $1500 interest-free loan to students who pay it back in $100 per month increments after graduation. By 2000, 24 scholarships totalling nearly $75,000 had been awarded.
