History

The present Caledonia High School was built in 2004. South Campus was completed in fall 2017. The designer of both buildings was GMB Architects. [8] [9] As part of the bond issue passed in 2020, a corridor was built to connect the two high school buildings. [10] The former high school was repurposed as Duncan Lake Middle School. [11]

In 2025, the Cal Community Center opened. The building has athletic facilities and houses a branch of the YMCA. [12]
