History

A high school in the city of Galesville, Wisconsin opened in 1902. [2] Trempealeau County government ordered the creation of a joint school district covering Galesville, Ettrick, Gale, the town of Ettrick and the town of Trempealeau at the beginning of 1949, to take effect on June 30, 1949. [3] An influx of new students created an overcrowding condition at the school; a 1951 referendum for a new building failed. [4] A 1952 referendum passed. [5] Construction for the then-Gale-Ettrick High School commenced in September 1953. [6] In 1971, Healy Memorial High School in Trempealeau was consolidated into the Gale-Ettrick, and the school was renamed Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau. [7]

The school went away from its Redmen nickname for athletic teams in May 2010; a new name of Red Hawks was later chosen. [8]
