History

[edit]

Pine City High School was established in 1910, although the first graduating class from what is now Pine City High School was June 1, 1903, (the newly constructed Webster School). When the school was first built, many children who lived outside the city of Pine City attended local country schools and then in their later grades attended PCHS.

Pine City is noted for its strong tradition in the fine and performing arts, and in 2010, 2011, and 2012 was named to the NAMM Foundation's list of "Best Communities for Music Education in America". Both the Concert Band and Concert Choir consistently receive Superior ratings at Large Group Contests and several All-State Band and Choir students have been selected from Pine City music ensembles in recent[when?] years. The One-Act Play won its Sub-Section in 2009 with All in the Timing and in 2010 with The Exonerated; in 2011 it placed second in the Section Finals (out of 18) with The Arkansaw Bear and third in 2012 with slasreveR neveS.
