History
The first school in Richmond was established in 1838 in a private home. Logs were used to built a dedicated schoolhouse the next year. In 1875, a brick school was built, a year after Richmond's public school district was established.The previous high school was located on Park Street. The two story building with a central cupola was dedicated on the evening of Labor Day in 1913. The current high school opened in February 1960 after being christened with a Christmas concert in December, 1959.
Voters approved funds for a new middle school around 1973. The building was complete by early 1976, but the project was over budget due to inflation and voters would not approve additional funds to equip the building. Fall 1976 came and went as the building remained empty, and funding was finally approved in March 1977 for a fall opening.
