Weiser High School is the only high school in Weiser, Idaho. It is in the Weiser School District, which includes Weiser and some unincorporated areas.[5] In 2006, it had an enrollment of 514 in grades 9–12.[6] Every June, it hosts the National Oldtime Fiddlers' Contest & Festival.[7]

As of 1998 the school takes students who live in Annex, Oregon.[8]

History

[edit]

The Idaho Statesman counted the start of the school as 1867, when the first school in Weiser was established. In 1904, a dedicated building for the high school was built for $40,000. Renovation and expansion worth $90,000 began to be built in 1919. In 1948 it took over the former Weiser Academy/Intermountain Institute, a boarding school with 750-acre (300 ha) of land. According to The Idaho Statesman, this meant that it was the sole high school in the state with a large property.[9]

In 1958, there were 46 students at Weiser High who lived in the Annex and Jefferson school districts.[10]

In 1965 there was a proposal for a bond to spend $1,147,000 to build a new high school, using a hexagon-style design. That year, the state was considering pulling the accreditation of the school.[11]

Operations

[edit]

As of 2017 all students register for classes in person instead of electronically. Dave Davies, the former principal, stated that this is done to give a "personal touch" to the school.[12]

The school has various dual high school-tertiary credit courses. In 2017, 121 students graduated. 40% of them went to a tertiary institution straight out of high school.[12]

The following sports are offered at Weiser High School:[13]

There is also a band. The band initially had female students twirling batons while the male students played instruments. By 1961, all students were playing instruments. That year, the band won third place in a contest in the Seafair Parade in Seattle, as well as first place in another competition in the same event. The Idaho Statesman described the group as "one of the top-rate organizations of its kind in the area" after the parade.[17]
