School History

In 1903 Buffalo High School became accredited by the State of Minnesota. Graduates had to complete 16 credits over 4 years in such subjects as Latin grammar, German grammar, Elementary and higher algebra, Zoology, English composition and rhetoric, Plane geometry, Ancient history, Virgil or German literature, English history, English literature, and several others. In 1962 a large addition was made to the high school building. Another gymnasium, locker rooms, 10 classrooms, a new band room and offices were added. In what many thought was the final chapter in growth for Buffalo High School, a bond issue was passed in 1969 to build a new high school on the north edge of town with the old high school becoming a junior high. The new building opened in 1971. 36 years later the current Buffalo High School was built, and the old high school became the "new" middle school.
