The Mecca Wabash Township Graded School was originally built in 1901. In 1910 and 1923 additions were added to make it one of the biggest schools in Parke County. It housed grades 1 through 12 until 1963 when the high school was consolidated. For a few years high school students could choose either Montezuma or Rockville High School to attend. Eventually all high school students from Mecca were sent to Montezuma. In 1986 the new Riverton Parke High School was opened and all high school students from Montezuma, Mecca, Rosedale and Bridgeton attended the new school. The doors were closed on the Mecca School that year and elementary students were taken to Rosedale until the addition to the Montezuma School was completed. The school has been used as a community center since then and has been used for many things. The building is now in dire need repairs and up keep, the Mecca A.R.A.B.S. are attempting to raise money in various ways. To be a part of this organization contact the email address on our home page.
