The site of the current high school previous housed a command center and one of the nine Atlas nuclear missiles from 1961 until its closure in 1964 and then sat empty for five years. A patron, Duane Wilson, then purchased the retired base from the federal government for the sum of $1.00 on behalf of the new Jackson Heights school district. With a few minor modifications, the command center became a high school and opened for classes in August 1969. [3] [4]
