Quincy High School began in the mid-nineteenth century and has been at its present site since 1924. This historic school is called the Home of the Presidents. In 2010, we welcomed students into a 330,000 square foot, state-of-the-art new building. Technology was thoughtfully integrated into many aspects, assuring students have access to the training they need to compete and succeed in their future. Included in the building are a new 750-seat theater, wireless Internet access, 3-station gymnasium with fitness and multi-purpose rooms, new computer labs and more. The students and staff are grateful to the citizens of Quincy for providing such a beautiful new facility.
At Quincy High School, we are proud of our academic program. We provide courses to meet every student's needs: challenging, advanced courses for college-bound students, technical certification courses, standard courses for all students, and remedial courses for students who need additional help. We also provide training for students who choose to enter the workforce after graduation. We are educating the citizens of tomorrow.
