With overcrowding in the City of Hammond’s high schools and their reluctance to accept additional students from the Town of Munster, the construction of a high school in Munster became a priority in 1963. With sophomores and juniors attending Wilbur Wright School in 1964 and 1965, construction began on a $4 million dollar facility that would house approximately 1,200 high school students. Attached to the junior high building, the classrooms were completed just in time for the 1966–1967 school year to begin in the new Munster High School.
