History

On March 19, 1930, 125 students walked out of the high school to protest the school board's firing of superintendent Herbert V. Truemner. Truemner had been dismissed by the school board to take place at the end of the school year. The high school had 190 students at the time.[2][3]

In 1998, the collapse of a cinder block wall in a new auditorium under construction at the school killed four construction workers.[4][5][6]
