Overview

Sakura High School's old school building was first built in 1944 during World War II. As a result of the war, no students were able to attend during the first year it was established, as they were either enlisted or had entered the labour force at the factories.

Because it was first built during the war, it was originally established as a national school, and was even known as Sakura National School. National schools were focused less on education, and more on training and tactics. In 1947, national schools were reformed, and turned their focus back to education.

The old building was originally two storeys, but a west building was added in 1985 that is three storeys high.

It is sometimes referred to as the wooden building, due to its construction materials primarily being wood.
