The school was a founding member and currently competes in the Saint Paul City Conference.

The school was originally named Cleveland High School, after the U.S. President Grover Cleveland, although some sources state the school was named after Horace Cleveland, a local landscape architect. In 1910 increasing enrollment and overcrowding led to the construction of a second school building at 740 York Ave.〔 The school was renamed John A. Johnson High School in honor of the recently deceased Minnesota governor John Albert Johnson (18611909). Students attended class at the second location from 1911 to 1963. By 1959 overcrowding as a result of the post-World War II baby boom forced the construction of a third school building. Land was purchased in 1960 at the former site of Hastings Pond, which had been filled in during construction of Interstate 94 through Saint Paul, and the building was completed at a cost of $3,663,529.78.〔 Johnson High School has been located at the third school building since the fall of 1963. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Johnson Senior High School (Saint Paul, Minnesota)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
