LaCrosse High School


LaCrosse School was a public high school in LaCrosse, Indiana and was part of the Tri-Township Consolidated School Corporation. In 2022 the school closed and as a result students in the Town of La Crosse attend Tri-Township Schools in Wanatah, Indiana. In the mid-2010s the school was visited by individuals from the filmmaking industry who were curious to see one of the last remaining gymnasiums in Indiana that resembled the gym in the movie "Hoosiers." In the early 2000s the monster truck Grave Digger made an appearance at the school organized by one of the drivers of the monster truck who lived in the town.
