History

Idaho Falls High School is the oldest high school in the city of Idaho Falls, originating around the turn of the 20th century. The present building has only been in use since 1952, however. The school's original building, near the present-day location of the Wesley W. Deist Aquatic Center, was converted into a junior high (Central JHS), which burned down during the 1970s.^{[citation needed]} Also in 1952, the City of Idaho Falls constructed the Civic Auditorium, which adjoins the school[1]. The Auditorium remains a major center for performing arts in the area. The school's newspaper is the Tiger Times.^[3]Paul Haack wrote the school song "Dear Old I.F. High" in 1927^[10]
