Until 1964, Orange Township on the south side of Waterloo was its own school district. Even after a consolidation of Orange with Waterloo West and Waterloo East, Orange kept its high school until 1972 and even had a football team that played area small schools. Then it became elementary-only until it closed in 2013.
At the end of March, the last tangible link to Orange High School went away with the demolition of the 1915 building and its additions.
