In 1933 the school was renamed William Adams High School to honor Judge William Adams, a local rancher and civil servant, to honor his many contributions to the city. The School Board voted to change the name of the High School back to Alice High in 1969. Construction of Alice High was completed in time for 1970 school year, and the first graduating class was in 1971. The old highschool building became William Adams Middle School.
