History In the fall of 1894, the first high school opened its doors to about 40 stu- dents. The building, erected on a hill overlooking Hot Springs, is still in use today as the Pioneer Museum. As time passed, they soon outgrew the mea- ger ten rooms. The school board then purchased new quarters from the Black Hills College, which lay across the canyon on the opposite hill. In 1924, the old college building burned down and plans were made to con- struct a modern new building the following year. In the first graduating class, four boys and one girl claimed honors, while the class of 1946 boasted fifty graduates. The current enrollment is around 807 students within a K-12 set- ting.
