Frederic Remington High School is a rural public high school, located between Whitewater and Potwin, and north of the unincorporated community of Brainerd. It is one of three schools operated by Unified School District 206, and is the sole high school in the district. This school is also commonly known as Remington High School as the shorter name, and Whitewater-Remington High School on KSHSAA sport lists.

History

In 1961, Whitewater, Potwin, Brainerd, Elbing, Furley, Countryside, and Golden Gate schools merged to form a joint rural high school. Heated opposition between Whitewater and Potwin occurred during the discussion for the location of the new high school. Rural voters pushed for a centralized location in neither town. A public vote was taken to determine if the school should be built halfway between Whitewater and Potwin, near Brainerd, which passed 745 "yes" to 155 "no".[10] A contest was held to find a unique name for the new high school, which was chosen to honor the famous American Old West artist Frederic Remington who used to live in the area in the late 1800s.[10] USD 206 covers an area of 253 square miles (660 km2) in Butler, Harvey, Sedgwick, and Marion counties.[10]

In 2006, the Remington Rock monument was built near the high school.
