- Lima Senior High School, the only high school in the Lima City Schools District, was established in 1955, in Lima, Ohio. There are approximately 1200 students currently enrolled at Lima Senior.
- Overview
-
Lima Senior remained in the same building for 49 years, until one year before the building's fiftieth anniversary when it was replaced. The new building was under construction for two years, and was finally finished in 2004. Construction of the new buildings were contracted for $30,000,000 but went over budget by $20,000,000 totaling a cost of over $50,000,000. The new Lima Senior High School building contains three small learning communities, including the Performance Based, the Progressive Academy, and the School of Multiple Intelligences. Each small school follows an instructional model of teaching core subjects of Ohio class requirements. Lima Stadium, home to the Lima Senior Spartans, is a registered historic building listed in the National Register on 2002-03-21.
- The Arts are the highlight of the Lima City Schools. Other school systems cut arts programming, but by making the Arts a priority, Lima is in accordance with Gov. Strickland's plan for creative and innovative thinking for the 21st century learner in a global society. Every student in grades K-12 has the opportunity to have music and art every year. There is also an Arts Magnet elementary and middle school which offers instensive studies of and through the arts. The music department at the high school is unique in the fact that it is the only one in Northwest Ohio to have an orchestra department. The string orchestra competes in the OMEA State Competition yearly in Class B, and have received excellent ratings in recent history. The Lima Senior Band Department is very much active in the community under the direction of 2nd year director Doug Norton. The band department consists of Jazz Band, Pep Band, Concert/Symphonic Band and the 52 member Lima Senior Spartan Marching Pride. The choir is currently under Stephen Popa and currently performs in Class AA music, garnering a Superior rating in 2008. Students concentrating their studies in the Arts in the Lima City Schools have the highest test scores and, as a group, are more likely to be accepted and complete studies in higher education.
- In 1987, Lima Senior High School began formally recognizing the accomplishments of its alumni who had received local, state or national recognition for achievements in their occupational fields, made significant contributions to society, or performed meritorious service for our country by inducting them into the Lima Senior High School Distinguished Alumni Hall of Fame. In 1990 the Hall of fame was opened up to all students in the Lima City School District and the name was changed to the Lima City Schools Distinguished Hall of Fame. There are currently 87 alumni honored in the Hall of Fame. Every four years, ten to fifteen outstanding alumni are inducted into the Hall of Fame during an induction ceremony and banquet. All Hall of Fame inductees have their portraits displayed in Lima Senior Highschool's main lobby and cafeteria.
- Lima Senior's mascot is the Spartan. They are a member of the Greater Buckeye Conference.
