History

A 2-story brick school was built in Linden in 1870 at 202 S. Bridge Street. An addition was built in 1901. In 1930, a large addition was built that modernized the school. It served as the district's high school into the 1950s and became the district's administration building in the 1970s. It was torn down in 2002. ^{[6] [7] [8]}

In fall 1963, a new high school opened at 325 Stan Eaton Drive. The architecture firm was MacKenzie, Knuth and Klein. ^[9]

The current Linden High School was built around 1977. ^[10] The previous high school became the middle school. ^[11]

When Linden Middle School opened in January 2006, the previous middle school became Hyatt Elementary. ^{[12] [13]}
