History
Concord's school district was founded in 1835.[6] A new school was built in the 1850s.[7] It was replaced in 1878 and expanded in 1918. On October 12, 1943, the school burned down and all equipment and records were lost.[8] For the next ten years, school would be held in temporary locations.[9]
The current Concord Elementary/Middle School was built in fall 1953, and originally held the high school as well. Carl Kressbach of Concord was the architect. The school includes a brick from the White House, which was being renovated at the time.[9]
On April 12, 1966, the current high school opened.[10] An addition was built in 1975.[6]
