History
editFor several years until 1961, when enrollment was 180, the number of students kept increasing. In 1962 that figure was down to 170 (which was up from 168 two weeks prior to the start of that school year).[4]
On June 11, 2010, a small plane crashed into the high school administration building, killing a family of four on board. It might have been trying to land on the practice football field in high winds.[5]
Dome
edit
The school owns the Round Valley Ensphere, a multi-use domed stadium that hosts football, basketball, and other sports events, plus non-school functions such as car shows.
Notable alumni
