Celebrating 110 years of Tioga High School

THS recently celebrated 110 years of excellence on the reservation—Founder’s Day was Sept. 13.

From their roots in 1902—when just 49 boys and 57 girls lived within a mile of the school—to over 100 students enrolled by 1903, Tioga has always been a place of growth and promise.

On January 30, 1915, the School Board announced the opening of the new Tioga High School. Built for $15,328 by E.T. Elam of Pineville, the school was furnished with 250 student desks, 8 teacher desks, 24 maps, 2 dictionaries, and 400 folding chairs—setting the foundation for generations to come.

Now in 2025, THS is proud to serve over 850 students and growing.

Tioga continues to thrive—rich in history, strong in spirit, and united by tradition.
