The gymnasium is still in use, as the home court for the Sterling Christian (located in Galt) Basketball teams.
Declining enrollment and financial concerns led to the closing of Tampico High School in 1996.
The 1921 brick building was torn down during the summer of 2012 as part of a district wide facility improvement plan.. As of 2021, the old football field is still there, along with the padded hitting machine which is now rusted.
