School history

Twin Falls High School was founded in 1907. Citizens passed a bond in 1909 to construct the high school building and a supplemental bond in 1911 to complete construction. Formal dedication of the original high school, located on Shoshone Street next to the Twin Falls County Courthouse, occurred in February 1912.

The current Twin Falls High School on Filer Avenue opened in September 1954. The original high school building became Twin Falls Junior High School (now O'Leary Middle School). The original building was condemned and torn down in the early 1980s after O'Leary moved to a new location in 1979.

Athletics

Until 2009, TFHS was among the largest high schools in the state, classified as 5A (enrollment over 1,280 students) by the IHSAA. With the opening of Canyon Ridge High School in western Twin Falls in August 2009, both schools were classified as 4A (four-year enrollment between 640 and 1,279).[5] A crosstown rivalry between TFHS and CRHS has since developed.[6]

With the move to down to 4A in 2009, TFHS also changed conferences. It is currently a member of the Great Basin (West) Conference, competing against Canyon Ridge, Burley, Jerome, Minico, and Wood River, all located in south central Idaho's Magic Valley.[7]

Twin Falls won the 5A state championship in football in 2004 and in boys' basketball in 2006. After dropping to Class 4A, the Bruins won the boys' state basketball championship in 2010, and the state baseball championship in 2011[8] and 2014.[9]

The water polo team and bowling team won state championships in 2007. The boys' cross country has won three state titles in a row since 2007, and both golf teams have won many state titles, as well. The Bruin track team won many championships in the 1970s and continue to be a state power. The last state team track championship was in 1997. The boys' soccer team became state champions in 1992, only three years after the team was founded.
