Pine City High School is a six-year public high school located in Pine City, Minnesota, United States. Pine City is a fourth-tier suburb (exurb) of Minneapolis. The school was founded in 1910 and has a current[when?] enrollment of approximately 800 students, making it the largest school in Pine County.

History

Pine City High School was established in 1910, although the first graduating class from what is now Pine City High School was June 1, 1903, (the newly constructed Webster School). When the school was first built, many children who lived outside the city of Pine City attended local country schools and then in their later grades attended PCHS.
