[edit] History
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]
[edit] Academics
Idaho Falls High School's Mr. James Francis, teacher of Advanced Placement European History and Advanced Placement United States History, was the recipient of the 1997 Idaho Teacher of the Year Award.[11]
Advanced placement classes offered at IFHS include calculus, statistics, biology, physics, English composition, literature, European history, United States history, and government. AP chemistry was offered through the 2006-2007 school year, but was discontinued with the retirement of chemistry teacher Gary Long, yet in 2009 the advanced chemistry class was brought back by Mrs. Nelson.[citation needed]
Also, Idaho Falls Scholastic Team has competed at the State Tournament fourteen times, the most for any Idaho school. The team won the state competition in 2008.[citation needed]
