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:
“I am ashamed to see what a shallow village tale our so-called History is. How many times must we say Rome, and Paris, and Constantinople! What does Rome know of rat and lizard? What are Olympiads and Consulates to these neighboring systems of being? Nay, what food or experience or succor have they for the Esquimaux seal-hunter, or the Kanaka in his canoe, for the fisherman, the stevedore, the porter?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Indeed, the Englishman’s history of New England commences only when it ceases to be New France.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Gossip is charming! History is merely gossip. But scandal is gossip made tedious by morality.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
