The first graduating class was in 1888. Around 1911 a new building was built at the center of the present campus on Olive Street between 8th and 9th Streets. In 1939, North Junior High School was built next door. Various other additions to the campus occurred between 1948–1969, including expansions to the central building as well as numerous satellite buildings. When North Junior High School was relocated, its old campus became the English Building. In 1988, a fire destroyed the grandstands on Mel-Ingram Field and damaged the large gym. The grandstands were replaced in 1989 on the west side of the field.〔(History of Grants Pass High School by Joan Momsen )〕 In 1998, the entire campus was demolished and re-constructed.
