The Tontitown School Building is a historic former school building on US Highway 412 (US 412) in Tontitown, Arkansas. It is a single-story hip-roofed building, fashioned out of concrete blocks. It has corner blocks set in a quoin pattern, and gabled dormers front and rear which house paired round-arch windows. The front entry is sheltered by a gabled portico supported by Corinthian columns. The school was built in 1920 to accommodated the community's growing Italian immigrant population.[2] The building is now owned by the adjacent St. Joseph's Church.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.[1]
