History
The building was constructed in 1920, and was home to the Augusta Redskins until the 1970s, when the school consolidated with Bowen High School to become the Southeastern Suns. In the early 1990s, Plymouth High School, located in Plymouth, Illinois completed the consolidation to make Southeastern High School a public facility serving students from the three villages and other outlying areas.
Plymouth is a village in Hancock and McDonough counties, Illinois, United States. The population was 505 at the 2010 census, down from 562 at the 2000 census.
On March 3, 2006, Southeastern High School was burnt to the ground after a fire that started in the Chemistry lab on the third floor, completely gutted the entire floor, resulting in floor collapse, and extensive water damage to the bottom floors. The fire started at approximately 11:30 AM, during the students' lunch time/study hall. As a result, no student or faculty member was injured. Firefighters from six area units assisted in the task of extinguishing the flames. Firefighters persisted in their mission until early morning hours.
After taking the following Monday and Tuesday off school, Southeastern High School classes reconvened at Southeastern Jr. High School in Bowen, Illinois and at the Bowen United Methodist Church, both just six miles away from the original Augusta location.
