Hurricane High School is a high school located at 345 West 100 South in Hurricane, Utah. It is the 4th largest high school in the Washington County School District.
History: The first school classes were held in Hurricane, Utah in 1906 in the living room of Ira E. Bradshaw's home, consisting of grades one through eight. The first High School graduates in Hurricane graduated at the end of the 1927-1928 school year.
A high school building was built during the Great Depression with help from the Federal Government's Works Progress Administration, a two-story red brick building on street of 100 West just south of State Street. The building was completed and the school opened just after Thanksgiving in 1936.
That building served as Hurricane High School for many years. In 1974, a new gymnasium and three classrooms were completed at the current school site, the first phase of construction of the current facilities. Students would walk between the old high school building and the new building for classes.
In 1978, 30 more classrooms and a cafeteria were added, and grades 9-12 moved to the new building. The old building remained in use for other grades for many more years. It was finally demolished in the spring of 2004.
Music: The Hurricane High School band program has a record of doing very well on the district level. The HHS Marching Band won the county marching championship every year from the school years of 2001-2002 to 2006-2007. In previous years, the symphonic band has gone to the Utah state band festival for high schools. Former band teacher David Sessions is known for his work on improving and building the band program in the school. He is also known for the love that he showed the band and individual students, and the love that the band gave him. In the school year of 2004-2005, Mr. Scott Morrise was hired as the new band and choir teacher, after David Sessions left to help a family run construction business located in Hawaii. Since Scott Morrise took over the band, the school has seen a steady decrease in the number of students in the band and the quality of music the band is producing. Many students attribute this to his lack of trust and care for the band program.
Sports: In the 2002-2003 and 2005-2006 seasons The Hurricane High School boys' track team was crowned Utah Division 3A State Champions.
In the 2005-2006 season, the Hurricane football team was crowned region 9 champions. They also took third in the Utah class 3A championship. Although they were victorious over second place Pine View High and scored higher in against first place Logan High than Pine View did, they placed third because of the order of elimination in the tournament. They ended the season with a 12-1 record.
Hurricane High's wrestling team won the 2005 region 9 championship, and placed 4th at the 2006.
In 2007, with one returning state champion and several returning state placers Hurricane High's wrestlers hope to have a breakout year. The Hurricane Boys Basketball team has 7 seniors in 2007 that aspire to lead them to the region championship, including Sam Force, Andy Beardall, Rory Anderson, Aaron Best, Mike Long, Jaron Ewell, and Reagan Lichfield.
