History of Junction City High School	(JCHS 1958) The school district which includes Junction City, Fort Riley, Milford and Grandview was organized in July of 1862. The first building constructed for school purposes was built in 1866. The present high school building was completed and occupied during the 1958-1959 school year. The first major addition was made in 1963. In 1977, another major addition was completed, giving additional media center facilities, a new gymnasium with dressing rooms, and student commons area. In 1979, a fourth addition was added to the south comprising science facilities, three classrooms, a 110-seat multi-level lecture hall, facilities for special education and special reading laboratory. In 1984, there was a fifth addition to the northeast corner of the building to house the instrumental music program. The most recent addition, in 1990, was an addition to the south to house two chemistry labs, a foods lab, 10 general purpose classrooms, two conference rooms, several teacher offices and an addition to the cafeteria. These facilities house grades 9,10,11 and12.
