History
Kelly Walsh High School, which was named after a principal at Natrona County High School, opened in 1965. Several subsequent expansion and remodeling projects have been completed, including the construction of a second gymnasium in 1995.
The school started offering instruction to students in grades 10-12 only and continued that for nearly 38 years. During the 2003/2004 school year Kelly Walsh began offering classes for students in the 9th grade.
During the 1989/1990 school year Kelly Walsh had to be closed for asbestos removal. During this closure classes were held across town at Natrona County High School. Classes for Natrona County High School students were held in the morning, while classes for Kelly Walsh High School students were held in the afternoon. Kelly Walsh High school partially reopened for classed during the fall of 1990 and completely open after the Christmas break in January 1991.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Bias, point of view, fury—are they ... so dangerous and must they be ironed out of history, the hills flattened and the contours leveled? The professors talk ... about passion and point of view in history as a Calvinist talks about sin in the bedroom.”
—Catherine Drinker Bowen (1897–1973)
“Man watches his history on the screen with apathy and an occasional passing flicker of horror or indignation.”
—Conor Cruise O’Brien (b. 1917)
“Modern Western thought will pass into history and be incorporated in it, will have its influence and its place, just as our body will pass into the composition of grass, of sheep, of cutlets, and of men. We do not like that kind of immortality, but what is to be done about it?”
—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
