History
The original Beecher High School building suffered extensive damage during a tornado on June 8, 1953.[3] The gymnasium was almost completely destroyed.[3]
The original building was closed in 2004 due to budget problems.[4] Students were then relocated to a local middle school building.[4] After a $10 million grant was received, the original Beecher High building will be reopened in 2026.[4] The current building will be reconverted back into a middle school.[4]
