History and previous building (1953-2020) In the early part of 1950, the Bath-Richfield School Board supervised the purchase of 28 acres for the site of the new school at the intersection of Revere and Everett Roads. On 5 October 1950, the school board selected Revere High School as the name for the new school. This was also the high school where Jeffery Dahmer, serial killer, went to school. The name, which was eventually selected as the name of the school district, was first suggested by teacher and coach, Gordon E. Knapp, based on the road the new school was being built on. On 13 November 1950, the students voted Red, White, and Blue as the district's colors and “Minutemen” was selected as the mascot based on the inspiration of the new name of the school.
