History

The high school was established in 1900 and expanded in 1913. A fire in March 1929 destroyed the Old Florence High School. A new high school was designed in 1929 by Smith & Brant Architects of Manitowoc, Wisconsin and completed in 1930. The high school was remodeled in the 1970's with a new gymnasium and locker rooms in addition to classroom upgrades in the technical, science and home economics area. In 1993, another remodel included an addition which houses the school library and the Florence County Public Library.[3][4]
