in the late 1980s, minor faced the task of renovation. instead of refurbishing the school's old building, the jefferson county board of education decided to retire the old school and build a new facility that would expand the school to include the 9th grade. in september 1988, classes began in the new building located in adamsville. in 1996, a new lighted stadium was built at the adamsville site. the 2001-2002 school year opened with a new wing consisting of seventeen new classrooms and three science labs. the necessity of a second gymnasium was soon evident. in 2002-2003, a new practice gymnasium was added to the campus. working in conjunction with wal-mart and the jefferson county commission, minor high school is currently building several practice athletic fields with a projected use by the soccer, softball, and football teams as well as a secondary practice location for the band.
