Humboldt Secondary Complex, named for Baron Alexander Von Humboldt, a German scientist, explorer, geographer, and diplomat, known as the last universal person, has served the community since 1889.  The school building has grown to 316,000 square foot complex on 16 acres on Saint Paul's West Side.
            The oldest portion of the current facility was built in 1909.  Additions were made in 1924 and 1959.  The newest portion opened in the fall of 1976 as an educational complex for grades 7 - 12.  In the fall of 1981 Humboldt Senior High became a four-year school with the inclusion of 9th grade students.  Humboldt Junior High maintained grades 7 and 8.  In 1982 the two schools formed Humboldt Secondary Complex of grades 7 - 12.  We added four new science rooms, a new industrial technology room, and a recently renovated auditorium.
