History[]

Postcard of the school, 1938.

High school in Tuscola dates back to the early 1870s, when it occupied the third floor of the Tuscola Union School; the first high school graduation was in 1875. After the Union School burned on October 12, 1921, high school was held at the courthouse.[2]: 270 

The first building solely for Tuscola High School was opened October 2, 1922, bounded by Sale, Niles, Overton and Indiana Streets.[2]: 275  That building was then used from 1957 to January 1969 as a grade school,[2]: 275  after the newer high school was opened in November 1957, bounded by Daggy, VanAllen, and Prairie Streets.[2]: 277 

The high school became part of Tuscola Community Unit School District 301 in the 1940s when the unit district was approved by public referendum.[2]: 275
