Pocatello High School has a tradition that dates back to before the official founding of the town. According to the Bannock County Historical Society, Pocatello High School was built during the late spring and summer of 1892 at a cost of $18,281 and was originally called West Side School. The school held all grades. Few believed there would ever be enough children to fill it. While the building did burn completely to the ground in 1914, the rebuilt school still reminds present and past students and staff of education richly steeped in tradition. This lengthy tradition is the source of Poky Pride.
