LaGrange High School History

Originally opened in 1903, LaGrange High school sits on 50 acres of land centered around the main school building at 516 North Greenwood Street.

The current school is comprised of five major sections; The main building, the vocational wing, the Boys' Gym, the Girl's Gym, and the Practice Fields.

The oldest section was constructed after a 1944 fire destroyed the original LaGrange High School. This section houses classrooms and the Auditorium. The original cafeteria was torn down and expanded in 1972.

The Physical Education and Athletics Building, often referred to as the Boys' Gym, was built in 1954. Currently this houses the Competition Gymnasium, Weight Room, Training Facilites, Athletic Offices, and Health Classrooms.

A massive exspansion complete in 1980 doubled the size of the school adding a vocational wing, band room, Girl's Gym, and Horticulture Research Garden.  More recently the school has undergone a complete renovation to update the building with such ammenties as state of the art digital internet lines.

In 2009 construction began on a new wing that includes science classrooms with modern lab facilities, fine arts facilities, C.T.A.E. Spaces, and more computer labs.  The same construction project saw the expansion of the Cafeteria and a new, larger, state of the art media center.

Beyond the school facilities the campus also has exstensive outdoor spaces. Sports practice and competition facilities, a band practice field, outdoor tables, and other ammenties complete the Greenwood Street Campus.

Additionally the LaGrange Football Team plays at Callaway Stadium. For more details on our Granger Teams please visit the Athletics page.
