Aplington–Parkersburg High School is a rural public high school in Parkersburg, Iowa, United States. It is a part of the Aplington–Parkersburg Community School District.[5]

History

It was formed in 1992, from the merger of the high schools of the Aplington and Parkersburg school districts.[1] The Parkersburg district maintained the joint high school.[6] The two districts legally merged into a single district on July 1, 2004.[7]

On May 25, 2008, the school was destroyed by an EF5 tornado. It has since been rebuilt, with the new building being available for the start of the 2009-2010 school year.[8]

Athletics

The athletic extracurricular activities at Aplington–Parkersburg High School are football, volleyball, cross country, basketball, wrestling, tennis, soccer, golf, track and field, softball and baseball. The Falcons are classified as a 2A school and compete in North Iowa Cedar League Conference.[9]

Throughout its history, Aplington–Parkersburg has won several state championships in various sports and were state runner-up numerous times.[citation needed] In addition, several graduates have gone on to participate in Division I, Division II, and Division III athletics.

Prior to the 1992 merger, the separate high schools in Aplington and Parkersburg were members of the Big Marsh Conference until the 1976–77 school year, when both schools left to join the Mid Iowa Conference, then the Big Iowa Conference.[10][11]
