The district formed in September, 1921 and the first school was built that year at the northwest corner of West Columbia Avenue and Highland Avenue. [6] The district's namesake is Goguac Lake. [7] The first class graduated from that school in 1924. A new high school opened on Woodrow Avenue in 1943. [8]

The building featured a 1,200-person fallout shelter located in the basement beneath the cafeteria. It had independent utility systems for use in a nuclear attack.
