History

[edit]

Turpin High School was opened in September 1976.[3] It featured an open concept floor plan, with classrooms lacking separation.[4] Original plans for the school called for an auditorium, but the design had to be scaled back due to cost overruns. After years of delay, a bond issue was passed and the auditorium was completed in 1999.[5] Turpin was renovated and an auxiliary gym added in 2019.[6][7] In 2022, Turpin added an outdoor classroom funded by the school's PTO.[8]

The school received national attention when, in 2022, students staged a walk-out to protest the cancellation of a Diversity Day and one of the students spoke in front of a Congressional subcommittee.[9][10]

Campus

[edit]

The school consists of four main parts: an auditorium, a center section with a cafeteria and classrooms, a gymnasium, and an auxiliary gym. The campus also includes athletic facilities which include a uniquely shaped baseball stadium (due to a lack of flat land area) which has undergone several major improvements and renovations in recent years (2005-2006). The campus also includes tennis courts, practice fields, softball fields, weight lifting facilities, and track and field areas.

Academics

[edit]

As of 2019, Turpin offers twenty three Advanced Placement courses.[11]
