Building The high school opened in 1971, replacing the older Twin City High School, and was originally built with a "California-style" campus requiring access from the outside. Renovations in 1980, 1993, and 2001 have expanded the high school, but overcrowding had forced the use of portable classrooms in recent years. In 2017, a $147.5 million bond was approved for the construction of a new, three-story school building to replace the old one. Construction of the new building began in 2018 and lasted until early 2021. Notable students T. J.
