History

Turner High School dates back to the 1920s, and it still currently stands as the only high school in the district. Turner High School was formerly located in the building that now houses the Turner Recreation Association. In the 1950s, it moved to a new building that now houses Turner Middle School. In the late 1990s, a bond issue was passed to build a new high school facility. The new Turner High School was then built on a piece of land that was once a farm. The farm was torn down, and the new Turner High School opened its doors in 2001.[ citation needed ]

In 1958, several students from Turner High School kidnapped two boys from Washington High School in Kansas City as a prank after Washington beat Turner at a basketball game. [6]

Extracurricular activities

The Golden Bears are classified as a 5A school, which is the 2nd largest classification in Kansas according to the Kansas State High School Activities Association (KSHSAA).
