[edit] History
Blackford High School opened in the fall of 1969[1], replacing the former Hartford City High School and Montpelier High School.
[edit] Interesting facts
Blackford High School was built atop a civil defense shelter--known by students and staff as "the tunnel." The shelter has an entrance from one of the main first-floor corridors. While the use of this shelter in case of nuclear attack is no longer a major consideration, it is still used for tornado drills. (It was also formerly used as storage space, but that use has been discontinued due to fire safety concerns.)
