Biggar Composite High School was the pre-cursor to the current
Biggar Central School 2000. It was determined during a 1996 facility inspection report that the Central School had fallen short in its heating and ventilations systems, fire protection services and program spaces. Upon review, renovations and upgrades would be more cost intensive than replacement costs.
