As the population grew, the high school was moved to the second floor of the McKinley School building and later to the Central Junior High School. By 1919 this building became so crowded that the school was run in two shifts. One year after Granite City South ' s construction, in 1921, students moved into the new building. The auditorium was added in 1924, the rear central wing in 1927 and the vocational wing in 1928. During 1940-41, a wing connecting the vocational and acedemic area was built. The Memorial gymnasium was constructed in 1956, followed by two new classroom wings in 1960. Finally, the cafeteria building was added in 1966. Disaster struck in 1970 as the auditorium was set on fire and totally destroyed. The auditorium was rebuilt and with the ever-increasing population, a new high school was erected! Completed in 1974, this new sister school, Granite City North, opened. The teams ' name, Warriors, was selected in 1921 by the student body. In 1958, Roy Chapman painted a Warrior mural on the wall of the Memorial gymnasium to signify our school mascot. Mrs. Byron Bozarth, wife of a P.E. instructor, composed the school ' s song in 1921. Also during this year the first WARRIOR Yearbook was published. Production was discontinued during World War II but resumed in 1956 and has continued since. Attending Granite City High School South are 530 seniors and 2050 underclassmen. Students may select from 360 different classes. There are 137 teachers, 4 full-time administrators, 7 counselors, 2 librarians, 2 part-time teachers, 11 secretaries and 35 other staff members.
