on November 24, 1931. The new school opened in the fall of 1933, serving grades 10-12. The building sits along Historic Maine Street and remains an icon and historic landmark in the Quincy area today. It is five stories tall, with mosaic details enscripted on the walls. In 1937, eighth and ninth graders were added to the building to relieve crowding at elementary schools. At this time, Webster School and the former high school at 12th and Maine also housed students. As years went on, it was apparent that the 8–12 setup was not working and a change was needed. The school board decided to build a new high school at 30th and Maine (the site of Baldwin Park) and to convert the current building into a 7–9 junior high school. Third High School (1957 - 1972) The third Quincy Senior High opened at 30th and Maine in 1957. The first high school building at 12th and Maine was torn down in June 1967. Enrollment continued to climb steadily in the Quincy schools and another building was needed. It was decided to construct an additional high school to the east of the existing high school (the site of the former Gem City Drive In). Fourth High School (1972 - Present) The fourth and current high school building opened in the fall of 1972. At the time of its opening, it was named Quincy Senior High II and housed students in grades 11 and 12. The existing high school at 30th and Maine was renamed Quincy Senior High I, and converted to grades 9 and 10. The junior high would include just 7th and 8th graders. Reorganization In the 1980s, the district experienced several finance problems and an enrollment decline. As a result, the entire district was reorganized. Senior High I closed in 1982. Tenth grade was moved to Senior High II and ninth grade was moved back to Quincy Junior High. Senior High I was converted into Baldwin Intermediate School for grades 4–6. In the 2016–2017 school year, 9th grade was moved from the Quincy Junior High School building to the current Quincy Senior High School building. For the first time since the 1950s, grades 9-12 were housed in a single building, reflecting the traditional American secondary school model. The Quincy Junior High School building began serving grades 6–8. Five new elementary schools were to be built, including one on
