As part of the celebration of the Lindbergh Schools 75th anniversary, we will be posting throwback facts about the district every Thursday. This is the first one!

: The first high school classes took place in 1950, using facilities at Sappington School. Ground was broken on a new high school in 1951, and it was completed that same year. The new high school was called Grandview. Its students were the Griffins, and the school colors were maroon and gold.

This didn’t stick however, and in 1952 the school’s name was changed to Lindbergh High School. Students would now be known as Flyers, and the school colors would be changed to the green and gold we know today. Pictured, is the first high school class, which graduated on May 23, 1954.
