July 2008 fire
On July 11–12, 2008, a fire destroyed one of the school's main buildings, which held the science lab, classrooms, the home economics area, and the library.[4][5][6][7] Many classrooms, offices, the gymnasium, and a weight room were saved by firefighters from the Glide Volunteer Fire department and other nearby companies.[5] The school district was already replacing or rehabilitating some of the areas to have classrooms ready for the fall 2008 term, which began in September.[5] The fire was believed to be caused by a plumber's torch in a classroom of the main building.[4][5]
Academics
In 2019, 93% of the school's seniors received a high school diploma.[8][9]
