History
[edit]Prior to the establishment of the school, several one and two room schoolhouses in the area educated children. They were later combined into a school called Compromise. Pitkin High was first established as a brick building facility in 1915, and it was approved as a high school on August 23, 1915. The current school building opened in 1969 and since then received renovations and additions.[2]
Facility
[edit]The school has three wings, one for lower elementary (Pre-K and head start through 4th grade), upper elementary (grades 5-8), and high school (9-12).[2]
