A History Of Hayden High School In The 1960's


In 1960, because of the increased interest in the programs Hayden was offering, enrollment increased to 754 students. Due to the enrollment increase, the faculty and staff saw that they were going to have to build another high school which was called Hayden High West. In 1961, enrollment would go up to 853.

Hayden High School 1962

In 1962, a new building was erected at 401 Gage to serve junior and senior students. Freshmen and sophomores remained in the building on 8th Street.



In 1963, things were really starting to get organized in both Hayden East and West. The freshmen and sophomores were at Hayden East and the juniors and seniors were at Hayden West. Some teachers had to travel back and forth between the two buildings, but they did it because they enjoyed Hayden and the students.
