Hortonville High School is a high school located in Hortonville, Wisconsin. The only high school in the Hortonville Area School District, it serves students in grades 9 to 12 from the communities of Hortonville and Greenville, and portions of Center, Dale, Ellington, Grand Chute, Hortonia, and Liberty. Enrollment averages 270 in each of the four grades. The high school faculty is composed of 95 full-time professional staff, with a student to faculty ratio of approximately 11:1. Graduation rates average 98 percent, with ACT composite scores consistently above the state and national averages.
Hortonville High School is located on a 37.5-acre campus bounded by Warner Street, Olk Street, Nash Street, and Towne Drive on the east side of the Village of Hortonville. In addition to academic areas, the building includes the school district administration offices, an 800-seat performing arts center, a field house and auxiliary gymnasium, a fitness center open to district residents, a branch of Wolf River Community Bank and a newly constructed cafeteria and commons area.
Akin Field is located at the northeast corner of the campus and is home to the football, soccer, and track teams. Off-campus athletic facilities include: Commercial Club Park (varsity baseball), Otto Miller Athletic Complex (softball, freshman and junior varsity baseball, and soccer), Greenville Community Park (baseball and softball), Greenville Lions Park (cross country), Grandview Golf Club (golf) and Tri-County Ice Arena (hockey).
Construction of the first high school building in Hortonville began in 1899 near the corner of Pine and Cedar Streets, with the first high school classes being offered in 1902. In 1906, Hortonville graduated its first senior class, which consisted of 17 students. During this time, athletic events were held at the Hortonville Community Hall and Opera House, where due to the temperature of the facility, the teams earned the nickname "Polar Bears".
In 1953, the Hortonville Union High School District was formed which consolidated the existing high school with the surrounding rural school districts. The high school relocated to its current location in 1956. In 1962, an addition to the building connected the high school to the elementary and middle schools located to the north. At this time, the separate elementary and high school districts were combined and the high school was renamed Hortonville High School. Major additions occurred in 1965, 1976 and 1984, during which time the building housed the entire district.
