Waterford's first high school was constructed in 1956, and had 24 rooms. It was first occupied in January 1957 with 612 students in grades 7-9. The school became a four-year 9-12 school in 1959. The first graduating class of 161 students was in 1960.[4]
The project to build a new high school and to re-renovate the field house began in 2010 with a budget of $72 million.
