History

The school was established in 1934 by the first superintendent. The name "Wonderview" came from the marvelous view from the north side of the school. The words "wonderful view" was combined to make "Wonderview".

Campus

A gym, a few buildings, and the agricultural building were built in 1934, and the main high school building was built in 1943. In 1974, the cafeteria and an extension to the high school were built. In 1983, construction began on a new gym until 1985. In 1993, the old high school building was torn down, and a new one was built. In the 1990s, a new agricultural building was built, and the old agri building became a bus garage. In 2010, a new cafeteria and tornado shelter were also built.
