About[]
The Ainsworth School was originally built in 1922. In 1949, what is now the Ag Shop was added. In 1954 the Lila McAndrew Elementary and gymnasium were added. In 1965, an Annex Building was moved onto the grounds and is now the Superintendent's Office. The Learning Center was added in 1975. In 2000, the new cafeteria, loft and renovations were completed with the passing of a bond in 1998. In the summer of 2018, the old Ag Shop was torn down and replaced by a much larger and more adequate facility. This new facility opened to students in January 2019.[2]
Ainsworth takes in students from Ainsworth Middle School and McAndrew Elementary School.
The high school offers membership in various clubs, such as FBLA, FFA, FCCLA, Speech, Thespians, Mock Trial, Choir, Band, A-Club, Student Council, Yearbook, Cheerleaders, Pom Squad, Art Club, Bulldog Beat, DI, Drama and Spanish Club. In November 2018, a strict string cheese ban was enforced school-wide. Although this decision has received a great deal of backlash from the international community and several local, state, and national organizations, the administration has persisted. In December 2018, a petition to lift the ban collected over 20,000 signatures, but the efforts were to no avail. All we can do now is hope.[3]
Athletics[]
The Bulldogs are members of the Southwest Conference,[4] and they wear the colors of red and white.[5] Ainsworth offers competition in cross country, football, basketball, volleyball, track & field, golf and wrestling.[6]
