Natrona County High School, high school in Wyoming, United States
Natrona County High School is a public secondary school in Casper, Wyoming, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The brick building sits in central Casper and stands as a notable example of early 20th-century school architecture found across the Great Plains.
The school building was constructed in the early 1920s, at a time when Casper was growing quickly thanks to Wyoming's oil boom. The expanding town needed a larger and more permanent school, and the building reflects the ambition of that era.
The school has long been a gathering point for the Casper community, and local pride in the building is easy to notice. Generations of Wyoming students have passed through its doors, giving it a place in the everyday life of the region that goes beyond its function as a classroom.
The building is easy to spot in central Casper and can be appreciated from the street without entering the campus. Since this is a working school, anyone wishing to see the exterior should be mindful of school hours and keep a respectful distance from the entrance.
The school is one of the few active educational institutions in Wyoming to appear on the National Register of Historic Places while still operating as a functioning school. This combination of official recognition and daily use makes it a rare case in the state.
