History
History
Portsmouth High School was founded sometime in the 1830s and serves students in grades 7th through 12th. In 2000, Portsmouth voters passed a school bond issue, which helped construct new schools for the district. Portsmouth's new schools opened for the 2006–2007 school year. Portsmouth won the Grand Prize from School Planning & Management's 2007 Education Design Showcase, an award given annually to the K-12 school that displays "excellence in design and functional planning directed toward meeting the needs of the educational program." Portsmouth built a $10 million athletic complex in 2009, that included a new football field, baseball field, softball field, and track.
