Amana High School

Last updated

Amana High School was a senior high school in Middle Amana, in the Amana Colonies area of Iowa, United States.

It was created in 1935, when residents voted in favor for a bond to establish a high school in two adjacent structures: a brick school building and an adjacent residential building. A 400-seat auditorium was built in the summer of 1935; this fused the two buildings together. A second floor was also added. The bond had a cost of $16,500 ($326115.29 adjusted for inflation). [1] Its first graduating class finished its education in 1936. The school closed in 1991. [2] Students today are served by Clear Creek–Amana High School.

Baseball was the only competitive athletic program available at Amana High. [2]
