Details

The School mascot is the Wildcats and colors are Maroon, White, and Silver. The High School Building was built in a time frame around C. 1990, the "new gym" in C.1991, and the Woodbine intermediate building in 2000. Mold was found in a wing of the Rad Ware building in 2001, and the wing was demolished in 2003 and rebuilt to match the Intermediate building in 2004. Before 1989, the Rad Ware and Middle school buildings were the only ones, fitting all 13 grades (kindergarten and 1st through 12th) into only 2 buildings. In the 2005-2006 School Year, golf was the highest ranking sport in the Athletics program (Headed by Coach Bomar), making it to District. The "New Gym" has many banners hanging from the rafters from competitions, and the trophy case in the foyer of the gym has 2 trophy cases that are full.

The Middle school building is slowly falling into disrepair, as it was built before the 1960s, and the school board apparently is ignoring it. Amid the Theatre Arts stage being in very poor and even unsafe condition (admitted by teachers and students, February 2006 "The Prowler"), peeling paint on the bleachers of the "old gym" (which has led to students helping the paint come off, kicking in panels of the bleachers, writing on what's left of the paint, among other actions) that degrade its appearance, and overall combined conditions of the math wing, cafeteria, Agriculture Mechanics barn, and buses, the school board decides to spend all its money in the athletics program (which has given next to nothing in paying for the money put into it), or to be more specific, high paid coaches, football field irrigation systems, new scoreboards, a field house (rumored to have cost upwards of $500,000 to build), and a quickly degrading rubber surfaced running track.
