History
Waterloo Senior High School was completed in 1929, and was located at 202 West Main Street in Waterloo. Following district centralization in 1939, it served as home for both the junior high and senior high grades. Due to overcrowding, a new senior high building was constructed at 65 Center Street and was completed in time for the 1961-1962 school year. It originally held grades 9 through 12, but again due to crowding issues, the 9th grade was moved to the middle school building on West Main Street until a new wing was constructed on the North end of the building. This wing would house several new classrooms, mostly in the social studies and English departments, as well as a library and study hall classroom. The east wing housed foreign language, mathematics, and the assistant principal's office. The south wing was a longer stretch that contained the nurse, guidance, and the main and principal's office, as well as science classrooms. This wing included a hallway that stretched south vertically and included more science rooms, art and music classrooms, and the cafeteria. The west wing held the gymnasium and home economics.
In January 2006 construction was completed on a new school, attached the western wing of the old building. The old high school houses the district middle school.
