Bonneville High School is a high school in Idaho Falls, Idaho.
School History: Bonneville High School opened to students in 1951 with the Class of '52 as the first graduating class. Previously, there were four separate high schools on the east side of the Idaho Falls area: Ammon, Iona, Lincoln and Ucon. The old Ammon High School became Bonneville High School (now an elementary School) until a spacious, new building was completed in 1957 on the corner of Iona Road and Ammon-Lincoln Road.
In 1977, Bonneville High moved into a much larger building which was built just west of the former campus on Iona Road. The old building became a junior high (currently Rocky Mountain Middle School). The new high school is very unique in its design. It's composed of a central hexagon-shaped commons area with wings on each side, made to resemble part of a honeycomb. This design also made most of the classrooms, cafeteria, offices and gymnasium easily accessible from the students' lockers in the center. The E wing, where the library, art, math and other classes are now located, was not added until around 1981. The original plan was to build a final wing on the remaining side of the commons area when it became needed.
A growing population in the district, particularly in the Ammon area, led to the addition of a second high school not far from the old Ammon High School. Hillcrest High School (Idaho) was completed in 1992. This was also the beginning of a rivalry between the schools' sports teams. The most popular, of course, is the annual meeting between football teams which has become known as the Civil War (hinting at the separation of north and south).
A new track and stadium was soon built north of the high school to be shared by both schools. A contest was held to find a name for the new stadium. Thunder Stadium was chosen. A local company, King B, offered to donate funds for the stadium as long as it was named King B Stadium. However, after a vote among students the name proved unpopular especially among Hillcrest students who claimed the inclusion of the letter "B" in the name showed an unfair advantage to the Bonneville Bees. (Personally, I think there is just as much association between the word "King" and the Hillcrest Knights).
In 2006, construction began on a practice gym near the main gym on the northeast end of the building.
