Pine City High School was established in the year 1910, although the first graduating class from what is now Pine City High School was June 1, 1903 (the newly-constructed Webster School). When the school was first built, many children that lived outside the city of Pine City attended local country schools and then in their later grades attended PCHS.
Pine City is noted for its strong tradition in the fine and performing arts, and in both 2010 and 2011 was named to the NAMM Foundation's list of "Best Communities for Music Education in America." Both the Concert Band and Concert Choir consistently receive Superior ratings at Large Group Contests, and several All-State Band and Choir students have been selected from Pine City music ensembles in recent years. The One-Act Play won their Sub-Section in 2009 with "All in the Timing" again in 2010 with "The Exonerated," and placed 2nd in the Section Finals in 2011 with "The Arkansaw Bear"; the Speech Team is 2009, 2010, and 2011 Conference Champions.
