The original high school building (now Haviland Middle School) was built on land donated to the town by local farmer Ben Haviland. Construction began in 1938 and was one of three schools erected as a Depression-era Public Works Administration project in Hyde Park.[2]
It was originally called the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Junior-Senior High School and may be the only public high school in the United States built under the auspices of, and named for, a sitting president. President Roosevelt dedicated the school to the town in 1940, and the school graduated its first class in 1941.
As enrollment increased, the town began construction on the current high school building which opened in 1965. An addition was added to the rear of the school in 1976.[3] The outdoor athletic complex was upgraded in 2013 with a new multi-sport football field, grandstands, track and field facilities, and a concession stand.
The original building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.[4]
