History Breckenridge's first school was built in 1882 and had two classrooms. The first high school class graduated in 1893, the same year that the district's students were divided into grades. A dedicated high school was built in 1916.
In 1936, a new high school was built on East Summit Street. Later known as West Elementary, it became a community education center in 1995 before closing in 2009. It was demolished in 2013.
East Elementary was built in 1954. The current middle/high school was built in 1966. The current elementary school opened in January 1995, adjacent to East Elementary. Voters passed a $14.95 million bond issue in 2020 to tear down the old East Elementary section and construct a new addition to the 1995 elementary school in its place.
