History

Prior to the establishment of the school, several one and two room schoolhouses in the area educated children. They were later combined into a school called Compromise. Pitkin High was first established as a brick building facility in 1915, and it was approved as a high school on August 23, 1915. The current school building opened in 1969 and since then received renovations and additions.[2]
