History

edit

Until 1937, students wishing to pursue a high school education traveled to other cities, as Urbandale did not have high school facilities. The first year of high school education in Urbandale was the 1936–1937 school year.[4] A gymnasium with a stage was completed in 1940 with Works Progress Administration funding.[4] A new building was finished in 1963, with additions in 1978 and 1981. Another new building opened in 2007.[4]
