LaCrosse High School
Public high school in LaCrosse, Indiana, United States
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
LaCrosse High School was a public high school in LaCrosse, Indiana[4] and was part of the Tri-Township Consolidated School Corporation. In 2022, the school closed, and as a result, students in the Town of LaCrosse started attending Tri-Township Junior/Senior High School in Wanatah, Indiana. In the mid-2010s the school was visited by individuals from the filmmaking industry who were curious to see one of the last remaining gymnasiums in Indiana that resembled the gym in the movie "Hoosiers." In the early 2000s the monster truck Grave Digger made an appearance at the school organized by one of the drivers of the monster truck who lived in the town.
