John Dickinson High School
[3] It is one of five high schools in the Red Clay Consolidated School District and serves parts of Newport, Stanton, Hockessin, Wilmington, North Star, Pike Creek, Pike Creek Valley, Baynard Boulevard, and Brandywine Village.[2][4][5][6][7][8] The school, opened 1960, is located on a 67-acre (270,000 m2) campus and takes its name from John Dickinson, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States.[11][12][13] In January 1995, an arson fire destroyed substantial parts of the building, so much so that did not reopen fully until September; students had to attend nearby McKean High School in staggered schedules until portions of Dickinson were opened again in March.[14][15] In 2013, Dickinson students broke the Guinness World Record for highest Lego tower ever built at 112 feet.[20] Dickinson is part of the Delaware Interscholastic Athletic Association and competes in Blue Hen Conference, Flight "B".
