PHS History

The 10 acres purchased for $2,000 on the north edge of town in 1929 was first used for athletic purposes. As the school outgrew the central campus, Work Progress Administration work began on a large high school building at 111 E. Harvester. Later a music and art addition to the east, a field house, a woodshop and homebound class building, a music building, the remodeling of the library and girls gymnasium, an athletic building, new tennis courts, stadium improvements, a cinder track, an area vocational building, and paved parking lot and baseball diamond have been added to keep pace with the changing times. Off Price Road is an area purchased for an F.F.A. livestock feeding facility.

Campus structures named to honor outstanding teachers or students include Clifton McNeely Field House named for the outstanding basketball coach who led the Harvesters to four state basketball championships during his 1947-1960 term. Matson Track was named for Pampa High’s only Olympic champion, Randy Matson. In 1984 the livestock feedlots were named in honor of Bob Skaggs.
