Fairmont Senior High School, is a public high school in Fairmont, West Virginia. The current school building, built in 1928, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Serving grades nine through twelve, it is one of three high schools in Marion County, along with East Fairmont High School and North Marion High School.[5]

Fairmont High School (the school's original name) was established at the Second Ward Building in the late 1800s.[6] [7] The school relocated to 5th Street in 1905 and to Loop Park in 1929. The high school was an all-white school until the 1950s.[8] [9] The school offers a number of different extracurricular activities, such as marching band, a choir program, a theatre program, and a wide range of athletic opportunities. Notable alumni include Olympic gold medalist Mary Lou Retton, U.S. Air Force officer Frank Kendall Everest Jr., entrepreneur Jim Delligatti, business executive Heather Bresch, and several others.

History

Marion County did not have a public education system until the creation of the State of West Virginia in 1863 during the American Civil War. Due to a growing student population in Marion County, there was a need for more schools. Fairmont High School would become the first of these high schools to be established in Marion County.[10]

In 1876 or 1897, Fairmont High School was established in the Second Ward Building.

5th Street building

In 1905, Fairmont High School relocated to its second location at the 5th Street building, which is now a gym.

Loop Park building

In 1929, the high school opened at the Loop Park location, which is where Fairmont Senior High School currently resides. The school was built in 1928. Architect William B. Ittner designed the Loop Park building.[11]

Until the 1950s, Fairmont Senior High School was an all-white school. In 1954, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that segregated schools had to integrate in the Brown v. the Board of Education decision. As a result, the all-black Dunbar School was closed and integrated with Fairmont Senior. On September 30, 1954, Fairmont Senior played a football game with Dunbar School, the only football game the two schools played together before Dunbar School closed.

In 1979, a fire damaged a large section of the school's roof. Much of the Loop Park building was constructed with concrete, which helped to mitigate the fire's damage.[12]

On March 22, 2002, the United States government listed Fairmont Senior on the National Register of Historic Places.[13]

Campus

The campus currently consists of several different components, such as a main building, the Freshman Building, and physical education facilities. The Loop Park building's architectural classification is Colonial Revival.[14]

Senior Court

Senior Court was a feature of the Loop Park building. The Senior Court did not have a ceiling, and there is a statue of U.S. President Abraham Lincoln standing in front of it.[15]

In 2010, a school bond was passed by the Marion County Board of Education to renovate Fairmont Senior's campus.[16] This $4.2 million project included replacing the Senior Court with a school media center.[17] The project took a few years to complete. Unlike the Senior Court, the media center has a ceiling and is a two-story room with a balcony.[18]

Physical education facilities

Originally, Fairmont Senior only had one gymnasium, which was located on the second floor of the main building. In November 1989, a proposal was made for a new physical education facility beside Fairmont Senior's Freshman Building. Work for the facility began in 1992. Despite objections and a lawsuit from area residents, the facility was completed a few years later.[19]

Freshman Building

Fairmont Senior has a one-story building located at the east end of its campus, which is known as the Freshman Building. In the early 1990s, a chemistry lab was built adjacent to the Freshman Building.[20]

Other than the school's marching band, the school's instrumental music curriculum has previously included symphonic band, concert band, jazz ensemble, and steel band.[29]

Choir program

Fairmont Senior has three choral groups: the Madrigals, women's ensemble, and men's ensemble.[30] The full name of the school's Madrigals group is the Fairmont Senior Madrigal Chamber Choir, which is considered to be a renaissance style a cappella choir.[31] The group was started by Doug Bunner in 1985;[32] he taught at the school until his retirement in 2006.[33] The group hosts an annual elimination dinner at the Fairmont Knights of Columbus,[34] and the school presents the Madrigals's Yuletide Feast biennially (a tradition that started in 1985).[35] The group has performed at other places, such as the current Fairmont Senior building,[36] Meadowbrook Mall,[37] West Virginia University Mountainlair,[38] and the WorldStrides OnStage competition in Orlando, Florida.[30]
