Dixie High School is in St. George, Utah at 350 East 700 South. It is a Utah Class 4A school (formerly 3A) with around 1000 students. The school's mascot is the flyers and is represented by a World War I-era biplane pilot.
History
Dixie High School was the first high school in St. George, Utah, being founded in 1911 under the name St. George Academy. Nicknamed "Dixie" Academy, the tradition of white-washing the name "DIXIE" on a sandstone rock formation overlooking the St. George valley (the Sugarloaf) began in 1913. In 1963 the Dixie Academy split into Dixie High School and Dixie College (which became to Dixie State College of Utah in 2000).
Dixie High transitioned to a new building in the early 2000s. Construction began in 2001 with a new arts department wing that featured an auditorium and choir and band rooms. The main, three-story school building was constructed in an adjacent parking lot. In 2004 the student body moved to the new building, and the majority of the old building was torn down (one classroom remains for use as auto-tech classes). Construction was completed before the 2005-2006 school year with a new gym and water feature.
