History
Quincy High School was founded in the mid-nineteenth century and moved to its current location in 1924. North Quincy High School was established at a separate location in 1926.
QHS construction was completed in 2010. Over the first year, Quincy High School has gotten many leaks in the pipes and has replaced. There are three wings with three floors. The A, B, and C-wing. The C-Wing is known as the Foreign Language wing on the third floor. The D-Wing on the third floor is the 'Freshman Wing". The entire A-Wing is the Math, Science and Technology room. QHS offers freshmans a seminar program called Freshman Seminar which allows freshmans to observe and do activities with a major for the upcoming years. The program is around 2–6 weeks rotating turns with different majors from different fields, "Business" to "Technology". Unlike NQHS, QHS offers more classes in non-academic classes. Since the school was opened, over 450 new freshmans arrived at the new school, when there was around 1,300 students in 2009-2010.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“... the history of the race, from infancy through its stages of barbarism, heathenism, civilization, and Christianity, is a process of suffering, as the lower principles of humanity are gradually subjected to the higher.”
—Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)
“There is one great fact, characteristic of this our nineteenth century, a fact which no party dares deny. On the one hand, there have started into life industrial and scientific forces which no epoch of former human history had ever suspected. On the other hand, there exist symptoms of decay, far surpassing the horrors recorded of the latter times of the Roman empire. In our days everything seems pregnant with its contrary.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“What we call National-Socialism is the poisonous perversion of ideas which have a long history in German intellectual life.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
