History
The Hondo School District was organized in 1883 and became an independent district in 1904. In 1904, a six-room two-story building was built with an $8,000 bond. The building received an addition with a $10,000 bond for three additional rooms and an auditorium upstairs. In 1927 the 2nd floor was removed and the remaining one-story building was covered in white stucco. In the 1930s, the school received more additions with the Lacey School, two-story administration building, and a gymnasium. In the mid-1970s the Lacey School and the two-story administration building were demolished to make way for a track. In 1974, the gymnasium was retrofit to house the high school band program and a divider wall built to create a space for the wood shop class. The original high school building was constructed in 1904; it was demolished in May, 2020. It was used as the Mighty Owl Band Hall from the 1970s to 2020. In 1950 a new high school was constructed and after several renovations and additions it is still in use today. In 2017, a new gymnasium was constructed as well as a new Career and Technologies building. In 2020, a new Fine Arts Building was constructed and includes two Band Halls, and auditorium, dressing rooms, a scene shop, and an art room.Athletics
