History

Basehor

Around 1900, the first schoolhouse in Basehor was built on land donated by Ephraim Basehor. The school was originally called Prairie Garden District #32. In 1905, the first high school classes were held above a General Store. One year later, a new building was built for all of K-12. The high school met upstairs, while the lower grades occupied three downstairs classrooms.[1]

Reuben Basehor donated $1,000 to the school to build a library. In 1938, a brick two-story building was built as a part of the Works Progress Administration. In 1955, the grade school classes moved to a new facility, while the high school remained in this building until a new Basehore High school was constructed in 1962.[2] In 1965, the Basehor and Linwood school districts were merged, but the two separate high schools were retained. In 1980, both Basehor and Linwood High were remodeled,[2] and a bond issue was proposed to build new athletic facilities.[3]

Linwood

In 1901 Linwood updated its course of study to meet the standards for entrance to Kansas State and other universities in Kansas.[4]

In 1912, Linwood refused to play Eudora High School because the Eudora team included two Black students.[5]

In 1921 a new building opened, at a cost of $150,000.[6]

Basehor-Linwood

In 1987, plans were finalized to merge Linwood High School into Basehor High school, forming Basehor-Linwood.[7][8] The first superintendent of the new Basehor-Linwood district was Ward Kiester, who had been principal of Basehor.[9]

Academics

Basehor-Linwood won the class 4A state championship Scholars Bowl in 2004.[10]

Athletics

Basehor-Linwood High School is a KSHSAA 5A school. It is part of the Kaw Valley League.[11]

Basehor-Linwood won the boys state basketball championship for the 4A classification in 2009 and 2012 and were still competing in the final four in 2020, but the tournament was not concluded due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[10]

In 2010, the girls won the class 4A championship in softball.[10]
