School Overview
The **Webster Building**, located at 508 S 7th Street in Oskaloosa, Iowa, serves as a historic and functional anchor within the Oskaloosa Community School District. Originally constructed in 1913 as the Webster Elementary School, the building is a prominent example of early 20th-century academic architecture in the region. Over the decades, it has transitioned from a traditional K-6 elementary facility into a versatile administrative and specialized learning hub that continues to support the district’s operations.

Today, the Webster Building is primarily recognized as the headquarters for the Oskaloosa Community School District’s administrative offices. In addition to housing district leadership and staff, the facility often serves as a site for alternative educational programming, community outreach, and special services. By repurposing this historic structure, the district has managed to maintain a piece of Oskaloosa’s educational heritage while providing a centralized, accessible location to manage the needs of its students, faculty, and the broader local community.
