Dean Morgan Junior High School was the first separate building constructed specifically for junior high school students in Casper. The original section was built in 1951-53 and was part of a statewide school building program implemented at the conclusion of World War II. This building program was necessitated by a dramatic increase in the number of students enrolled in schools throughout the state. The school is a striking example of mid-century modernist architecture designed by Casper architect Karl Krusmark. Dean Morgan is one of the best preserved surviving examples of Wyoming’s post World War II school facilities.
