Newton High School is a public high school in Newton, Kansas, United States. It is the only secondary school for USD 373. The school's 90-acre (360,000 m2) campus and Cedar-tree surrounded parking lot make it a distinctive landmark in northwest Newton.
Historically, Newton High School has been housed at three distinct locations. The original building was located at the northwest corner of 6th and Ash, the second location was the buildings located at northeast corner of Broadway and Poplar, then the current location at northeast corner of 12th and Boyd that was completed in the early 1970s.
As a result of a bond election that took place in 2007, renovation construction began on the school in 2009 and was completed in 2010. The renovation added several sections to the school and redistributed the rooms within the building; in this redistribution, safety and modernization were both heavy concerns. Aside from significantly changing the exterior of the school, the renovations also pushed the administration offices forward and relocated the school library.
Students from grades 9-12 participate in football, volleyball, cross country, tennis, girls and boys basketball, wrestling, gymnastics, bowling, swimming, girls and boys soccer, baseball, softball, Boys and Girls golf and track and field, bowling. Activities available include cheerleading, Railiners Dance Team, Azteca Dancers, debate, forensics, FFA, GSA, KFC, [BPA], Drama, Music (Vocal, Band, Jazz Band, Pep Band,Orchestra), Science Olympiad, Model UN, and FIRST Robotics Team.
