History
[edit]In 1988, the city had endorsed the proposal to secede from the KCUSD create a new school district and proper high school for Orange Grove and surrounding communities.[9]
In 1997, a proposal to pass a bond to build a high school for Orange Grove and perform other general improvements for the district narrowly failed to pass.[10]
In 2001, a bond proposal was made that would build a high school for Orange Grove, a school in Dunlap, and other improvements. The Fresno Bee notes that this would be the 11th attempt to pass a bond of its type since the 1960s.[11] By this point, Reedley High School was addressing overcrowding issues with portable buildings.[12] The cost to construct the school was $32 million when a March 2002 bond to build the new school passed after prior proposals had failed.[13][11]
Construction for the high school began in March 2004.[14]
Orange Cove High School first opened in 2004 was the first high located in Orange Cove. Before its construction, students had to travel to Reedley High School located in Reedley, nearly eight miles from Orange Cove.[14]

Championships
