Ames High School

Ames High School is a large educational complex in Iowa offering modern facilities for learning and athletics. The building features a swimming pool, multiple gymnasiums, an auditorium, and specialized classroom spaces designed for different teaching methods.

The school was founded in 1875 and has served the community for over a century. The current building opened in 2022, replacing the older structure with contemporary facilities while maintaining the school's educational mission.

The school serves as a hub where students develop skills in music, sports, and creative projects that define their high school years. The annual yearbook and jazz performances reflect how the community values both artistic expression and shared traditions.

The campus is accessible to visitors interested in viewing the athletic facilities and attending public events like sports competitions and concerts. Check ahead for event schedules, as the grounds may have restricted access during regular school hours.

The athletic teams compete as the Little Cyclones in distinctive orange and black uniforms, a tradition that connects them to the broader Iowa State community. The building uses geothermal heating throughout, an energy-efficient system that many visitors overlook despite its role in keeping the facilities comfortable.
