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:
“It is the true office of history to represent the events themselves, together with the counsels, and to leave the observations and conclusions thereupon to the liberty and faculty of every man’s judgement.”
—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
“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)
“The disadvantage of men not knowing the past is that they do not know the present. History is a hill or high point of vantage, from which alone men see the town in which they live or the age in which they are living.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
