The high school was constructed in 1929. Today, classes are still held in the original building that was expanded to include grades 6 – 8 in 1959.  Additionally, a new gymnasium was built to the south of the main building in 1962. In 2001, the gymnasium building was expanded to include additional classrooms and storage space. The facilities currently house 185 students in grades 9 - 12.

CERRO GORDO SCHOOLS RECYCLING PROGRAM

         We will be collecting:         

     Plastic bottles      Scrap paper      Newspapers      Magazines      Cans

Bring items from home.

Recycling will continue all year, but during the summer months you will need to deposit your recyclables in the marked totes located near the football field. They are sitting next to the dumpsters at the back of the HS parking lot, behind the band room. Those will be picked up every Wednesday morning.

When school starts in the fall, there will again be receptacles located in the buildings.

Thank you for all of your help!
