History

The village of Bath's first school was built in 1858. The school that replaced it, built in 1873, went to grade ten. In 1922, the Bath Consolidated School District formed and a large addition was built on the 1873 school, giving space for all twelve grades. [5]

In 1927, a school board member killed 44 others and himself in an incident known as the Bath School disaster. Most of the school was destroyed by his bombs, and more bombs were discovered during reconstruction of the building. [6] It reopened in 1928 as James Couzens Agricultural School. [7]

A new high school was constructed in 1962. [8] The present high school was built in 1975, when the former high school became a middle school. [9] [10] That year, the Couzens building was demolished [11] and the site became James Couzens Memorial Park.
