History

A high school in the city of Galesville, Wisconsin opened in 1902. Trempealeau County government ordered the creation of a joint school district covering Galesville, Ettrick, Gale, the town of Ettrick and the town of Trempealeau at the beginning of 1949, to take effect on June 30, 1949. An influx of new students created an overcrowding condition at the school; a 1951 referendum for a new building failed. A 1952 referendum passed. Construction for the then-Gale-Ettrick High School commenced in September 1953. In 1971, Healy Memorial High School in Trempealeau was consolidated into the Gale-Ettrick, and the school was renamed Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau.
The school went away from its Redmen nickname for athletic teams in May 2010; a new name of Red Hawks was later chosen.
