A new building was erected at 22 N. Georgia Ave. in 1917. The current high school building at 1700 4th St. SE was constructed in 1966 after the 1917 building became over crowded due to the rapidly growing student population during the 1946-1964 Baby Boom. Later, the 1917 building was renovated into a public services office building, and is called Mohawk Square. The current building shares its campus with John Adams Middle School (7-8 grade), which was built in the early 1960s as a junior high school.
