History

In 1959 Regina High School was built.[1] In 2004 the Regina Community joined together to raise money for a new addition to the school. They succeeded in raising the minimum $5,000,000 by raising a grand total of $5,010,000 and later being given a $500,000 from an anonymous donor. In 2005 Regina added a new addition at the expense of part of their back parking lot. This new building contained an elevator and a brand new cafeteria. The old cafeteria was turned into an art room and a brand new band room. However this new addition was great had many problems that became a pain for some teachers in the building. such pains were windows leaking, water leaking, air conditioning problems, heating problems, and not having any window blinds to keep out the sun on hot days.They then made a new car-line circle after they built on the previous one.
