**  Laird School - In 1862 Westville High School opened under Superintendent J. G. Laird. Laird’s School attracted teachers from all over Indiana, and, with the possible exception of a school in LaPorte and one or two in Valparaiso, it was the only true high school in Northwest Indiana, with an enrollment of nearly 100. In 1876 the Laird School was destroyed by fire and a new frame building was erected where the present school stands. This schoolhouse was destroyed by lightning in 1897, and replaced by a four-room brick building, which formed the old half of the schoolhouse that stood until 1957.
