Bozeman High School

Bozeman High School is a public high school for grades 9 through 12 located in Bozeman, Montana. It is the second-oldest high school in the state of Montana. In 2011, it had an enrollment of roughly 1,844 students, and was accredited by the Northwest Accreditation Association.HistoryBozeman established its high school in 1877, housing it in the newly built West Side School at 300 West Babcock. Students were few, and due to dropouts the high school did not graduate its first class until 1882. In 1937, a new county high school building, Gallatin County High School, was constructed at 404 West Main Street.Later renamed the Willson School, GCHS was discontinued in 1956 when the city of Bozeman constructed a new city high school, a mile west at 205 North 11th Avenue, designed by both Willson and Oswald Berg. This building serves as the current Bozeman High School, while the 1937 building was used to house Bridger Alternative High School until 2009. Bridger Alternative now resides in an old wing of the high school after the school district removed Chief Joseph Middle School, which was connected to the high school, to a different location. The old middle school was remodeled slightly with a new cafeteria and main offices and library, now called north campus, or "N Wing" to students.
