Contents

The high school, built in 1972, was originally part of a K-12 complex, which included an elementary and junior high (later a middle school). The elementary school was closed in the mid-1980s due to school district budget cuts, and the middle school was closed in 2005 when Enterprise Middle School was opened in West Richland in the same year.
