History

It was dedicated in honor of Mr. Henley. H. Haymaker For many years Haymaker had been teamed up with Moore Hall until 2005, when West Hall switched to Haymaker. Starting in the winter of the 04-05 school year, construction began on one of the Hall's wings. The renovation turned that wing into suite style rooms with bathrooms attached directly to the rooms. The front desk is dedicated to Larry Rowland, Community Assistant who worked at the desk from the mid 1990s through 2004.
