Greenfield High School is a public high school in Greenfield, Wisconsin, United States. It serves grades 9-12 for the Greenfield School District.

History

Construction began on the original Greenfield High School on December 16, 1957, shortly after the City of Greenfield was incorporated. The 47-acre site on the corner of Layton Avenue and South 60th Street was purchased for $65,000. Though construction continued, it opened for the first day of school September 12, 1958 with an assembly in the unfinished cafeteria. The school was officially dedicated on June 14, 1959.[4]

In 2010, a new high school was built at a cost of $41 million. The school includes a school store, a remodeled cafeteria, and a fitness center. An academic wing was built to replace the wing from the original school. In addition, a new gymnasium was built to supplement the existing "Hawk Dome". The natatorium had its ribbon cutting on January 8, 2010. Athletic facilities include a track, tennis courts, and baseball, soccer, and football fields.
