History

Seeger High School was established in 1957 through a $250,000 donation from local grain dealer and broker Ura Seeger; classes began in the fall of 1959. The school's original mascot was the Indian, and its colors red and grey, but in 1973 due to the consolidation of Pine Village, Williamsport, and Seeger High Schools, the mascot was changed to the Patriot and the colors to red, white and blue. Gary McMillen became the consolidated school's first principal. He was followed by Steve Lee, Dr. Roy Stroud, Richard Schelsky, Gary Kiger, Dan Nelson, Rob Beckett, and Zach Cotten. ^[3]
