Original ҹɫapp Elementary-Jr-Sr High School - 1950
"Carihi" was first opened on April 28th, 1950 as ҹɫapp Elementary-Jr-Sr High School. Built to handle 500 students, it contained the most up-to-date educational facilities the government could offer. The building we know of today as Carihi, opened in 1965 to accommdate the overpopulated ҹɫapp Elementary-Jr-Sr High School.
On the evening of August 25th, 1976, ҹɫapp Elementary-Jr-Sr High building was destroyed by fire. For the next two and a half years the students attended school on shift at the 2nd "Carihi" building while the new school was constructed. The new school officially reopened January 19, 1979. It was renamed "Phoenix" to symbolize it's rebirth from the ashes leaving the 2nd building named "ҹɫapp High".
Students often referred to ҹɫapp High as "Carihi" taking the first two letters from each of the words to form the new name. The school name was eventually changed and officially became "Carihi".
