In 1972, the football stadium was completed. East High consolidated with North Side in 1970, and also with Beech Bluff in 1977. In 1992, Jackson City and Madison County school systems were combined. In that year, the Tech Prep Center (middle building) was completed, and the following year the Fine Arts Building was completed.
