Description: McKee School and Hoey Auditorium, on the Western Carolina University Campus in Cullowhee, NC, circa 1940, after its completion in 1939. It served as a combination Elementary and High School from 1939 until 1964, and was the longest lived of the four brick graded schools in Cullowhee, the first, built in 1922-23, lasted 16 years before being replaced by this building, which in turn was replaced 25 years later, in 1964, by another building that lasted 24 years as a combination Elementary and High School before being downgraded to a K-8 School in 1988 and finally closing in 1994, when the present Cullowhee Valley School opened. McKee, Hoey, and Camp Laboratory still stand as part of the Western Carolina University campus, and all three were renovated within the last 23 years.
