Public school building in 1902

The Medford School District passed a school bond in November 2006 that collected $189 million to completely rebuild South Medford High School and Lone Pine Elementary School.[2] Some remodeling was done to North Medford High School. All schools received a part of the bond money for repairs and renovations. Wednesday, September 9, 2010 marked the first full day of class for all students at the new South Medford High School on Cunningham Avenue.[3] The same day marked the re-opening of the remodeled North Medford High School for all students.
