A gymnasium, auditorium and two classrooms were added in 1936, part of President Franklin Roosevelt's WPA program.

An addition of a library and home-economics room was added in 1950 and an elementary school building was constructed in 1958.

Dodge Center school colors were maroon and gold until the 1930s (or early 1940s), when they were changed to green and white.

In the early 1950s, the annual was called DO-CE-HI, then changed to Centerite, which continued publishing each year through 1990 (the last class to graduate from Dodge Center High School).

The Triton athletic fields are named for former Dodge Center High School football coach, Wally Hitt.
