History
A high school in the city of Galesville, Wisconsin opened in 1902.[2] Trempealeau County government ordered the creation of a joint school district covering Galesville, Ettrick, Gale, the town of Ettrick and the town of Trempealeau at the beginning of 1949, to take effect on June 30, 1949.[3] An influx of new students created an overcrowding condition at the school; a 1951 referendum for a new building failed.[4] A 1952 referendum passed.[5] Construction for the then-Gale-Ettrick High School commenced in September 1953.[6] In 1971, Healy Memorial High School in Trempealeau was consolidated into the Gale-Ettrick, and the school was renamed Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau.[7]
The school went away from its Redmen nickname for athletic teams in May 2010; a new name of Red Hawks was later chosen.[8]
