The Protection High School, located at 210 S. Jefferson in Protection, Kansas, was built in 1930. It was designed by architects Routledge & Hertz in Late Gothic Revival style. An extension to add a grade school in 1950 was designed by Hibbs & Robinson. It has also been known as South Central Middle School and Elementary. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.[1][2]
It was deemed significant "as the public school in Protection, an important component in the development and survival of the small rural community in southwest Kansas", and also "as a representative of a Late Gothic Revival educational structure and work of Hutchinson architects Routledge and Hertz."[2]:10
