Incorrect data on Anderson High Schools (Indiana). Please note: Anderson High School was the first city high school in Anderson, Indiana. It was built in the mid-1800s. Madison Heights was first built as a middle school in the 1950s to accommodate south side expansion created by the baby boom generation, and later enlarged to become a high school. It closed in 1996. The Madison Heights High School building was renovated in 2004-2006 and is now the new location for Anderson High School. Anderson currently has two high schools. The other is Highland. Prior to the late 1950s, Highland was a county high school with Lapel and Frankton in the South Madison School Corporation. Again, as Anderson expanded during this period, it became part of the larger Anderson Community School Corporation.

Tempers flared during the closing of the old Anderson High School building (which happened to catch fire shortly after the closing), and also by Madison Heights graduates when their school was renamed Anderson High School. Traditions die hard in this community, and the students in transition acted better than most parents and other adults.
