The former Seminole High School was built in 1930 and used until 2015.
As of the 2006–07 school year, the school had an enrollment of 482 students and 30.6 classroom teachers (on a FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 15.8.[3]
In 2015, students were moved out of the high school due to safety concerns with the building that was originally built in 1930.[4] In 2017, Seminole voters approved construction of a brand new high school to be built on the northwest side of the city.[5]
