The "new" school was located at the site of Warren County High School. With the school's population rising to over 2,000 students by 1990, a new high school, Greenwood High School, was created in the district to alleviate the strain. In 1995, a nickel-tax was passed that would enable for renovations of the school. The original building was built during the 1940s and additional spaces were added in the 1970s and all were showing signs of age. Over the next three-years the original building was replaced and upgrades were made to the newer portions of the school.
