The Hazen School - Our Community Center History

Just across the road from our Church stands a small Greek revival building that is today our Community Center.  It is an architectural jewel with a long history in Hazen.

The Hazen School was built in 1849, and was called "The Parochial School of the First Presbyterian Church of Oxford". It was the only school in the area until 1931, when the White Township Consolidated School opened. Hundreds of children from Hazen received their elementary education in this classic one-room schoolhouse.

The Community Center serves us well as a general purpose building for our fund raisers, covered dish dinners and Men's Breakfast. We are proud of the heritage of our Community Center and its place in our local history.
