In November 2006, School District 833 selected an site for its third high school, later named East Ridge High School. The site lies between two city-owned properties south of Bailey Road and east of Radio Drive: the HealthEast Sports Center and the Danner gravel pit. The city also owns an additional south of the sports center to allow for expansion. The new school opened in September 2009. The students attending this new high school came from Woodbury and nearby Cottage Grove, as well as the smaller towns of Newport, Afton, and Denmark.
