eligible to the National Register of Historic Places Under Criterion A for its direct association with the growth of education in Cheyenne. Schools represented the widespread belief in the value of universal education. The formation of school districts and the building of schools reflected how Cheyenne's citizens felt about the permanency of their community and their faith in its future. Hebard School reflects Cheyenne's post-war city expansion on the South Side, a traditional working class neighborhood. This school is also used for public assemblies and civic celebrations, a place for the community to come together. The building is also eligible under Criterion C in the area of architecture as it represents a harbinger of school architecture in the 1950s and 1960s and represents the work of a master architect, Frederick Hutchinson Porter.[2]
