[edit] History

Idaho Falls High School is the oldest high school in the city of Idaho Falls. A new school was built in 1952 following the loss of Central High School in a fire at its present location.[citation needed] Also in 1952, the city of Idaho Falls constructed the Civic Auditorium which adjoins Idaho Falls High School[1]. The Auditorium remains to be a center for performing arts in the area. Paul Haack wrote its school song in 1927[10] and its newspaper is the Tiger Times.[7]
