HISTORY


Building

, an amount of one thousand Dollars was approved and granted to build the new public Hazel Green School. A two story building was constructed holding ninety-seven students and three teachers within its first year of operation. From there, Hazel Green School was rebuilt three times (rebuilt in 1928 , 1962 , and 1994 to hold more capacity.) From 1920 until fall of 1994, (when the newest building was opened) Hazel Green School was a unit school for grades K-12 . It was not until 1994 that Hazel Green School's upper grades were formed into Hazel Green High School (grades 9-12.)

Mascot

Originally, due to the school's Mascot , Hazel Green school was known as the Greenies (mythical Elf like creature.) This changed however when considerations arose in the 60's about the school color in comparison to the mascot. The colors at the time were red and white with a mascot known as the Greenies. The HGS Booster Club decided either the colors or the mascot had to be replaced. In 1965 , Hazel Green School's mascot was switched to the TROJANS. The switch to this particular mascot was inspired by University Of Southern California's football success and popularity. "History of the Mascot". ''Planner''. 2006-2007ed.
