Quietly, AHS facility marks 50th year

ALGONA – Algona High School celebrates 50 years of graduates at its location on Sample street this year. 

Plans to build the high school building began taking shape in 1968. Classes started in the fall of 1969 although the building wasn’t entirely completed. The first graduates walked through the doors in the spring of 1970. 

Get a history of the Algona High School building and see some old photos of the site before it was built in the Dec. 24 Kossuth County Advance.
