Those four classes occupied the school until June of 1962, when the original 9th graders became its first graduating class and the school contained grades nine through twelve. Because the school exceeded its intended capacity of 1,700 students, freshmen were dropped into the town's two junior high schools in 1967. Enrollment reached a peak of about 2,600 in 1973 before dropping. By 1990, the school had less than 2,000 students, falling to around 1,700 by 1997. At that point, the enrollment began rising again, to its present total.
Additions to the school were built in 1965, 1971 and 2001, in efforts to ease overcrowding.

Grades
The school district had all its staff input their students' grades into a computer program called InteGrade Pro. Starting with the 2009-10 school year, InteGrade was replaced with a system known as Genesis, which provides a unified, wholly online attendance and grading system. Genesis also features auto-updating grades, a huge improvement over the previous online component to the InteGrade system, ParentConnect, which only updated once daily. If a teacher finds the need to, progress reports will be mailed to students' homes at a designated date near the middle of a quarter. At the end of a quarter, the grades are exported by teachers to administration, where they are formally presented to the parents/guardians of students through a formal report card.The Board of Education rchanged the grading system to a "quality point" type of system where your grades are equal to a number (GPA) and your GPA from the four quarters + midterms (and/or finals) are averaged as well.
Grade Point Average Calculations are weighted three different ways: Standard scale, Honors Scale, and AP scale.
