History

The original school was built in 1909, with additions throughout the next five decades. In 1975, the high school took over an existing school along with other additions, most notably an indoor swimming pool. Another new building was built in 1998 due to a rapidly growing population.[4]

Incident involving Mike McCarthy

On February 27, 2019, the school became the center of attention during a basketball game against Notre Dame Academy after former Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy was berating officials during the game. A complaint was submitted to the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association following the incident. McCarthy's behavior was criticized as "unacceptable" from the Notre Dame Academy and Pulaski athletic director Janet Batten.[11][12] A day later, McCarthy apologized for the incident.[13]

Music

The Red Raider Marching Band performed in the 2007, 2012, and 2017[14] Rose Parades and in the 2003 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City.
