A 1959 Wisconsin state law required that all school districts have an attached high school in their district. In practice this meant that school districts without a high school either had to merge with districts that did, or build their own by a July 1962 deadline. Appleton School District ended up absorbing several schools and/or school districts to comply with the mandate. [26]
In 1961 the Red Star School District was attached to the Appleton School District, [26] after a vote to attach failed in 1959. At that time a new larger school was proposed by the school district, but building this never came to fruition, and the 1961 vote to attach succeeded.
More schools were merged into the Appleton School District on April 25, 1962: [26]
