Frederic Remington High School

Frederic Remington High School is a public secondary school in rural Butler County, Kansas between the cities of Whitewater and Potwin. It is located north of K-196 highway, along the north side of the unincorporated community of Brainerd and southeast of the intersection of NW Meadowlark Rd and NW 90th St. It is one of three schools operated by Remington USD 206 public school 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". 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 lived about 4 miles north in the 1880s. USD 206 covers an area of 253 sqmi in Butler, Harvey, and Sedgwick counties.

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