History

Ankeny Centennial opened in 2013, covering the northern part of the school district. ACHS relieved Ankeny High School of overcrowding as the district's second high school; both schools had approximately 990 students in the 2013–14 school year. This was the first time in 40 years that an Iowa school district had its number of high schools increase from one to two. Ankeny Centennial is structurally identical to the 2011 rebuild of Ankeny High School.
