As the new school year gets underway, students of Modesto High School are now benefiting from enhanced crosswalks and reconfigured traffic along the H Street frontage of the school. These welcomed safety and infrastructure updates bring a new look to the area in front of Modesto High, but for fans of the school’s history, not a new look to the school’s landmark appearance. The H Street facade, or main building, of Modesto High School may not be the original design from 1918, but with many generations of Panther Pride and approval by city and school leaders, the main building was designated Landmark #26 by the City Council in July 1995.
