  • Overview

The original Biloxi High School was built in 1912 on Howard Avenue. A “new” Biloxi High School was constructed in 1961 – at a cost of $1.6 million – on Father Ryan Avenue. The current Biloxi High School, hailed as a “state of the art” facility – opened in 2002, serving Grades 10, 11 and 12. The $35 million facility, named one of the best schools in the country by the U.S. Department of Education in 2006, features a campus nestled on about 90 acres (360,000 m2) between the Back Bay of Biloxi and Interstate 10. This facility includes fully equipped science laboratories; computer labs; a 200-seat performance hall; practice and competition gymnasiums; tennis courts; a football stadium; baseball and softball stadiums with indoor batting cages; music areas with individual practice rooms and risers; and kilns in the art classrooms. [1]

Currently, Biloxi High finished the construction of its brand-new addition to the west side of the school. The addition, with an estimated 14 million dollar pricetag, was funded with monies split between existing gaming revenues and property taxes. The new wing includes an internet cafe, three dozen more classrooms, and a new contemporary style courtyard. The purpose of the addition is to accommodate the move of the ninth grade from Biloxi Junior High School, a move that is set to bring around 400 new students onto the campus of Biloxi High. As of the School Year 09-10, Biloxi High School serves grades 9-12. [1]
