History


The school was originally built in 1927, and was described after being built as one of the most advanced schools in the state. The school had two additions added in 1956 and 1957. Ground was broken in 1970 for an addition, which was completed in 1972. This addition added another six-story building connected to the original building, an arts wing connected to the auditorium, and a new gymnasium. Ninth grade students were added to the school due to overcrowding at the junior high schools.
In 2012, construction started for the Science Wing and a new Athletic Building that includes a new pool, a main gym, two smaller gyms, and an exercise center. Remaining portions of the school that were renovated include the 1930 wing on Cochran Road, the Auditorium, and Fine Arts Wing. These were completed in 2017.
The old South Gym was renovated into the Center Court, which functions as the cafeteria, and is located to be accessible from all main courses.
