Originally built in 1904, Eugene Field School was a feeder school. It was located on Benton Street at Sixth Street. It was built by L.A. Mason, a major contractor in Monett at the time. Other feeder schools during that time were Plymouth and Marshall Hill. Children went to certain feeder schools depending on where they lived in town. Eugene Field School housed grades 1st, 2nd, and 3rd and was no longer in use by 1924.
