Park Hill High School is one of two high schools in the Park Hill School District, in Kansas City. The school is located in northern Kansas City, in Platte County.[2]

Park Hill's teams are called the Trojans, and its colours are scarlet and white. Park Hill High School had an enrollment of 1,919 students in 2016-2017.

History

The original school building opened in 1952 and the current building opened in 1967. The original building became Park Hill Junior High and later Plaza Middle School, the district's 6th grade school. Plaza is now a 6-8 grade middle school.

In the late 1990s a new gymnasium was built on the west side of the building to replace the original gym, which is now used primarily for practices and school dances. Around this same time, an auditorium was also built adjacent to the new gym.[2]

Since 1998, Park Hill has won five wrestling state championships, two volleyball state championships, and the 2003 football state championship, as well as a cheerleading state championship in 2014. The Lady Trojans won the 2018 girls soccer state championship.

Facilities

The school has a football complex, gymnasium, and auditorium. The Park Hill Aquatic Center is located next to the football complex. It houses the Park Hill and Park Hill South boys' and girls' swim teams.
