History

In 1967 the Sisters School District closed Sisters High School, and it began sending high school students to Redmond High. ^[7] At the time, the school operated an early set of classes which juniors and seniors could take; such students taking them could then leave school earlier than other students. The school, in fall 1967, was to set a bus schedule to Sisters where there was a main bus, and a bus for juniors and seniors taking early classes. ^[8]

In 1992 Sisters High School was to reopen. At the time, the number of students at Redmond High School was increasing. Sisters-based students who were scheduled to be in the 12th grade in the 1992-1993 school year could stay at Redmond High if they wished, and students scheduled to be in the 11th grade could have potentially done so if they argued that their academic progress would be hindered by switching schools. All students who were to be sophomores at that time were required to move to Sisters High. ^[7]
