History


In 2010, construction of the 111 acres (45 ha) campus was completed on the 132,800 square feet (12,340 m2) facility for Two Rivers High School, which includes a multipurpose building for large gatherings and sports such as basketball and volleyball; a 450-seat auditorium for special events and performing arts; two science labs; a library with 20 computer stations; classrooms; a cafeteria; a distance learning lab; two computer labs; a conference room; administrative offices; an agriculture facility; and the Two Rivers High School Band room doubling as a "safe room" for 850 to 900 people for use in case of severe weather.
The school was formed as a result of the consolidation of Ola High School and Plainview-Rover High School. The school district and high school's name was chosen because of proximity to the Petit Jean River and Fourche La Fave River.
A facility for community fitness, the brainchild of Lindy Minnie, opened at Two Rivers High with a $10,000 grant for athletic equipment and the assistance of the mayor of Ola and the mayor of Plainview. Minnie, a physical education teacher at Two Rivers Elementary, wanted to unite the communities in the school district, which had been forced to consolidate into one through a state law, as well as promote fitness in the community.
