The present school district was established in 1956, but the high school itself
dates back to 1916, when it was classified as a 2-year school. It became a full-fledged   
4-year school in 1920. 

Dupo has a large campus, with four major connected buildings  
that create the Junior-Senior High School. 

The High School section is broken into three major segments which resulted

from three separate constructions.   The oldest section, built in 1925, now houses

the administrative offices, the academic classes, special programs, guidance, 

the small gym, the art room, and the library.  The vocational building, which was constructed 

in 1933 was not yet connected to the main building. This segment now houses the vocation  

classes, band room, ROTC, and one special education classroom. The  

newest segment of the High School complex was added in 1942 and connects the   

two older buildings. This wing houses the new gym, cafeteria, and the

Superintendent's office.  The Junior High was added in 1960 and is presently the newest 

building on the high school campus.
