Storm Lake High School is Built and Expanded
A 60,000 bond funded a new high school, completed in 1913 after demolishing the old building. Classes moved to the Methodist church during construction. A 1959 election funded a 945,000 senior high school with a 2 mill tax, approved 1,209 Yes to 313 No. Cornerstone laid August 10, 1961. Allied Engineering oversaw the project. Tornado Drive fronts the single-story campus with a modern design and a Special Education Division established in 1956.
