History

Clam Lake Public School opened in early 1873, with 35 enrollees, and a high school unit was added in 1877. [5] The brick Cadillac High School building was erected on the site in 1891. [6]

1975 Homecoming game

In October 1975, rock group Kiss visited Cadillac and performed at the Cadillac High School gymnasium. They played the concert to honor the school's football team. In previous years, the team had compiled a record of sixteen consecutive victories, but the 1974 squad opened the season with two losses. The assistant coach, Jim Neff, an English teacher and rock'n'roll fan, thought to inspire the team by playing Kiss music in the locker room. He also connected the team's game plan, K-I-S-S or "Keep It Simple Stupid", with the band. The team went on to win seven straight games and their conference co-championship. After learning of their association with the team's success, the band decided to visit the school and play for the homecoming game against the Chippewa Hills Warriors. Cadillac won the rest of the games that season. [7] [8] [9] [10]
