Arcadia Publishing, December 1, 2014. , 9781439648667. p. 71. as a three-year, co-educational senior high school. It was built at a cost of almost $4,000,000. The school became a reality with the 1966-1967 school session. Until the building was completed, the school was housed in temporary facilities on the campus of the former Lockport High School.
