History

[edit]

The original school building opened in 1952 and the current building opened in 1967. The original building became Park Hill Junior High and later Plaza Middle School, the district's 6th grade school. Plaza is now a 6-8 grade middle school.

In the late 1990s a new gymnasium was built on the west side of the building to replace the original gym, which is now used primarily for practices and school dances. Around this same time, an auditorium was also built adjacent to the new gym.[2]

Since 1998, Park Hill has won five wrestling state championships, two volleyball state championships, and the 2003 football state championship, as well as a cheerleading state championship in 2014. The Lady Trojans won the 2018 girls soccer state championship.

Facilities

[edit]

The school has a football complex, gymnasium, and auditorium. The Park Hill Aquatic Center is located next to the football complex. It houses the Park Hill and Park Hill South boys' and girls' swim teams.

Notably, students at both Park Hill and Park Hill South High Schools have the option to attend Lead Innovation Studio a high school program, located in Line Creek.
