Anoka High School
Anoka High School is a four-year public high school located in Anoka, Minnesota, United States. It serves grades 9–12 for the Anoka-Hennepin School District 11.
The first Anoka High School opened in 1904. Classes initially took place at the Commercial Hotel until the building was completed in January 1905. Construction cost $30,000, and the school could accommodate 200 students. Enrollment at the time was 183.
By 1913, temporary structures were added to address overcrowding, as enrollment continued to grow. By 1925, the school served 425 students, though there was no cafeteria, so students either brought lunch or went home.
In 1929, voters approved replacing the temporary structures with a new wing, which opened in 1930 alongside renovations to the original building. The addition included a gymnasium and auditorium.
In 1939, a second addition was built, adding classrooms and offices, and the older sections underwent repairs. Enrollment reached 699 students that year. In June of 1939, a tornado struck much of Main Street in Anoka but narrowly missed the school. A reporter dubbed one of the school teams the “Tornadoes,” a nickname that eventually became the school mascot.
The second Anoka High School opened in 1955, a few blocks southeast of downtown Anoka, on a 12-acre site donated by Dr. George and Pearl Ghostley. The original high school building became Sandburg Middle School. Designed for 1,000 students, the new school opened with an enrollment of 848. A major addition in 1959 expanded capacity to 1,800 students. Despite the opening of Coon Rapids High School in 1963, enrollment at Anoka High continued to rise, reaching 2,082 students by 1971.
In 1970, construction began on the current Anoka High School building, which opened in 1972 at its present location on 7th Avenue. The previous high school building became Fred Moore Junior High School (later Fred Moore Middle School, and now Anoka Middle School for the Arts). Anoka High School is one of the oldest and largest high schools in Minnesota.
From the formation of the Anoka-Hennepin School District 11 in 1920 until the opening of Coon Rapids High School in 1963, all district students attended high school in Anoka.
