Amana High School

Amana High School was a senior high school in Middle Amana, in the Amana Colonies area of Iowa.

It was created in 1935, when residents voted in favor for a bond to establish a high school in two adjacent structures: a brick school building and an adjacent residential building. A 400-seat auditorium was built in the summer of 1935; this fused the two buildings together. A second floor was also added. The bond had a cost of $16,500 ($307692.96 adjusted for inflation).[1] Its first graduating class finished its education in 1936. The school closed in 1991.[2] Students today are served by Clear Creek–Amana High School.

Baseball was the only competitive athletic program available at Amana High.[2]
