The original Caesar Rodney school was built in 1916 on land where Fifer Middle school is today. It housed grades 1-12 and had several additions added in the 1920s. In the 1930s, another building was built almost 50 feet to the east and was connected by a bridge to the old school. This new building became the high school. The old school became an elementary school. It was torn down in 1967 when the current Caesar Rodney High School was built.
