Park Avenue High School began on Willow Street originally as Willow Street Elementary School. The school was relocated to this location in 1963, leaving the previous school and was renamed Willow Street High School. The new Park Avenue High School was led by local education advocate and educator J. A. Hernandez, and is still in operation today as Franklin Junior High School.
