The pride of being a Con. 8 ‘er persisted after the school was gone. Those who attended Con. 8 only for a few years still identified with the community. The students who remained in the area after 1957 attended the Roosevelt school, except a few who transferred to the Warren School, across the river in Jackson County. Many of those students have graduated from Roosevelt High School but we can claim them all as Con. 8’ers.
