History
Built to relieve overcrowding at Bradford High School, the original 272,786-square-foot (25,342.6 m2) school was completed in the fall of 1964, with the first class graduating in June 1965. A successful referendum in 2005 gave the school a new, larger field house, team locker rooms, and a new weight room. In the summer of 2009, the cafeteria was remodeled and expanded into the original commons.
