History
editHudson High School was first opened in 1973. On July 8, 1973, the night before classes were to begin at Hudson High School, the school’s first principal, Forest L. Mayer, had a heart attack while working at the school. He died at about 11 p.m. at the Community Hospital in New Port Richey. The next day, on July 9, 1973, Hudson High School students began attending school in the same building as Gulf High School students, but later in the day. In August 1973, the school board appointed Coy Pigman as the principal of Hudson High School. The 1974 yearbook shows Coy Pigman as principal, Arthur O'Donnell as assistant principal, and Gus Manticos as dean. The class of 1974 was the first graduating class from Hudson High School. The class of 1974 graduated on June 27, in the Gulf High School gymnasium. The first valedictorian was George J. Matis II and the first salutatorian was Norman S. Bie. The class of 1974 had nearly 150 seniors.[2]
