The Old Senior High School remained at its 4300 Chatham Road location until 1981 when it was torn down and the new school was built and occupied at the current Eldorado location. The school later underwent renovations through the 21st Century Schools program, and it reopened in September 2018, after students temporarily were in the Northwestern High School building.[2]
