New building
In 1877, the first graduating class of Hastings High School included only five students.[2]

Students began attending classes in the new building at 520 W South Street on September 3, 1970.[2] "At the time of its opening, funds were approved to put all academic classrooms on a twenty-five to one pupil/teacher ratio," a major educational accomplishment achieved by few Michigan districts at that time.[2] The school contains one hundred thirty-two rooms including a gymnasium, library, cafeteria, and lecture hall.
