At first there was a two-year; in 1893 the course was lengthened to three years, and in 1897 a four-year course was outlined. In the fall of 1890, Mr. T.J. Fitzgibbon succeeded Mr. Willkie as the sole instructor for the 42 high school students. By the fall of 1891, the enrollment had increased to 55, and Mr. Charles Meeks was appointed principal to assist Superintendent Fitzgibbon.

Jones, Superintendent of Indianapolis schools to inspect the Elwood High School; as a result of his recommendation, Elwood secured a commission in 1892.
