History

Bay View High School's long and illustrious history began in September 1914, when 150 students and 7 teachers entered the first day at Bay View High School, a one-building barracks with no central heating. With German teacher Gustav Fritsche as principal, the barracks grew to a bungalow, and in 1922 classes were held in the new school which we use today.

The four-story brick building was a vast improvement over the wooden barracks. Later renovations included the modernization of rooms and lighting, the separation of the East and West Study Halls into one-story units later converted to classrooms, a library, and a little theatre/conference center. In 1976 there was a new addition to the building which includes a 1200-seat spectator gym.

Between 1914 and the present, many activities and traditions were advanced. In 1917, the ORACLE, then a booklet of 48 half-pages, began publication as a yearbook. In 1927, the ORACLE NEWSPAPER, first issued in 1915, took first place in the nation. With new facilities, athletics became an important co-curricular activity, and included football, track, basketball, swimming and cross country. Early clubs included Girl's Club (1914), Stage Crew (1924), Art Club (1932) and X Club (1938). A Student Government Association was organized in 1947, and the Redcat mascot was adopted in the early 1950's.
