History

In 1931, robbers broke into the principal's office and stole $50 worth of student funds.[3] In 1965, a new school building was constructed to replace the old one, which became a middle school.[4] In 2000, the school was closed for four months after an asbestos cleanup went awry.[5]
The school football team were state champions in 1911,[6] 1952,[7] 1999, and 2021.[8]
