History
Melrose High School began teaching in the 1800s, with its first building on West Emerson Street completed in 1869 and destroyed by fire in 1897. A second school opened on Main Street in 1898 and added two wings in 1909. In 1932, the school moved to Lynn Fells Parkway, where a gymnasium and an annex were later added in 1961. A modern building opened next to the third school in 1975, and the facility has since undergone several renovations to its classrooms and technology.
