Cheyenne High School, Public secondary school in Cheyenne, Wyoming, United States
Cheyenne High School is a public secondary institution in Cheyenne, Wyoming, housed in a three-story brick building at House Avenue constructed with reinforced concrete and brick facing. The school offers 21 Advanced Placement courses and operates extensive sports programs including basketball, football, soccer, and swimming.
The school was founded in 1869 as Wyoming's first secondary institution, and the current building was erected in 1921. This structure gained recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005, acknowledging its importance in local education history.
The school has hosted a Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps program since 1903, recognized for excellence in its operation. This program continues to shape student experiences and reflects the institution's long military tradition.
The campus is accessible during school hours on weekdays, though visitors should avoid common areas to not disrupt daily classes and activities. It is best to visit during times when the building is less crowded to appreciate the architectural details and overall structure more fully.
The original school later divided into three separate institutions serving different parts of Cheyenne as the city expanded. This split demonstrates how the original establishment adapted to the community's growth while maintaining its educational mission.
