By 1909 the north side of Terre Haute needed a high School and in 1912 the new school opened on the corner of Maple and Twelfth Streets. The school was named in honour of President James A. Garfield and was the home of the Purple Eagles until North Vigo High School opened in 1971. The building was demolished in 1971 and the site is now occupied by Garfield Gardens and Towers.
