Following the construction of Mountain View Middle School, the former high school building, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was converted into senior housing, and is now known as The Meetinghouse at Goffstown.[3] The present high school was built in 1963 to the designs of Alexander John Majeski.[4]
