About

In 2025 it had almost 1,000 students enrolled in grades 9-12. More than 88 percent of students were white during the 2023-–2024 school year. [3] The school's location is documented as "fringe town". [3] The indians are the mascot. [4] The school has a hall of fame. [4]

In 2024, a meeting at the school was held to discuss declining enrollment at the county's elementary schools and proposals to close two of them. [5] In 2025, a bond measure was proposed for the construction of a middle school on the high school campus. [6]

Athletics

In the 1920s when W. T. Leezy was as the track coach, the team had a five year unbeaten streak. [7] The school made national headlines in 1923 after a student broke the world record for the women's high school high jump. [8]

In 1994, the girls' volleyball team won a state championship. George Hinkle Jr. coached the school's football team. [4]
