Grants Pass High School boasts a long and venerable history. Founded in 1885, in a wooden building located at Fourth and C Streets, the first structure on the current site was completed in 1911. The first graduating class was in 1888. The English Building was added in 1939 with various other additions occurring between 1948 - 1969. The most recent change has been the total re-construction of the High School. The facility is now a state of the art school, complete with a magnificent Performing Arts Center which is also used as a convention center and theater for the community.
