History

The original Fayetteville-Perry High School was built in 1895.[3] In 1906 The Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati migrated here to use the building as St. Aloysius' Boys' Boarding Academy, twice operating as a military academy before it's final closure in 1953.[4] The building was demolished in 2009 to make way for the new two-story building mentioned above.[3]

The second high school was located on 160 East Street, and was built in 1936. It was also added onto in 1958.[3] Throughout this particular buildings life it housed every grade of student, from Kindergarten to seniors in high school, all the while bearing the "High School" engraving above the front entrance.[3] This school served as Fayettevilles' Elementary School from the years of 1995 to 2009, after which, these students were moved to what was the middle school (now the elementary school). This building was demolished shortly after the original high school in 2009.[3]

The newest high school was built in 2009, and incorporates a small section of the original high school, including it's gymnasium. It is segregated into a two-story, road-facing building for the high school students and faculty including gymnasium and library, with a cafetorium as the attachment point for the middle school wing. The faculty and student parking lot fills the space left behind the buildings.

Athletics

The school's sports teams are known as the Rockets, and the school colors are kelly green and white. Fayetteville-Perry has been a member of the 14-team Southern Hills Athletic League since 1970 and the school has sports programs for Basketball, Baseball, Softball, Football, Cross Country, Volleyball, and Track and Field. As of 2014-15, there are 10 schools remaining.
