History
[edit]Campus
[edit]In 1954, while the adjacent elementary school was being constructed, work on the high school also began, and it opened in the fall of 1957. The original building consisted of 12 classrooms and underwent continuous expansion starting in 1965.
In 1965, the first addition was completed, adding 13 classrooms, 4 restrooms, and a library.
In 1975, a two-story addition was built, providing 11 classrooms, a gymnasium, locker rooms, an elevator, and additional storage and miscellaneous spaces.
In 1991, two additional storage units were added to the southeastern side of the building. This expansion also included a new office area, 9 classrooms, a high school gymnasium, locker rooms, music, choir, and school band rooms, 4 restrooms, and other miscellaneous spaces.
In 1994, minor renovations were made to the second-floor science labs.
In 2013, additions and renovations were performed. These included an enlargement of the kitchen area, renovations to the main entrance, cafeteria, half of the office area, 4 restrooms, and modifications to incorporate a multi-purpose room and locker rooms. As part of the improvements, the roof was replaced throughout the entire school.
In 2014, further renovations were made to the second half of the Middle/High School Administration Office, the student entrance, the hallway between the main entrance and the student entrances, a new fire alarm system, and a new high-voltage electrical distribution system.
