tiny!
Originally there were 3 tiny High Schools, 2 in towns that had popped up along The National Road (US Rt. 40) and another town that was a halfway point in between Columbus and Newark, Ohio, the next town of any size. (Heard of Longaberger Baskets? Based in Newark.) Their graduating classes were never larger than 25. In 1955 the three High Schools were combined to form the first consolidated district in the County. The seperate High School opened in 1957. the old high schools served grades K-9 until a Middle School was built in 1977. In 1982 the High School was modified to its current form.
Of the original three high schools? One burned down in a fire in 1963 (a new building opened the following year, it still serves grades 1-5), the second was closed after the 1995 school year (it currently houses administrative offices on one floor and a 1960s extension houses the District's Kindergarten) and was replaced with an all new building, the most recently built structure in the district. The third is still in use today, albeit with some serious renovations.
