History
The first high school in Pembine was a four-room schoolhouse built in 1903 that served different grades. In 1957 additions of a cafeteria, gym, and shop enlarged and modernized the school. Further additions came in 1973 with four larger classrooms and a library. In 1990, when the school faced overcrowding problems, it considered consolidating with Niagara High School. The decision to consolidate was turned down by a town vote. In 1997 to answer the overcrowding problem the town passed a $2 million addition to Pembine High School that nearly doubled the square footage.[3]
