New Richmond High School is a four-year comprehensive high school with a student enrollment of 772. Another 75 high school students receive specialized vocational training by attending one of the career development campuses in the Grant Vocational School. It is the only high school in the New Richmond Exempted Village School District. New Richmond High School has been rated excellent by the state of Ohio for three years and the entire district is now rated as excellent by the Ohio Department Of Education.
History
Two nearby townships wished to be combined with the New Richmond Exempted School District (NREVSD) in the late fifties. Pierce School became part of the New Richmond Exempted Village School District in 1955, followed by Monroe School in 1959. Moscow School consolidated with New Richmond District in 1962 and functioned within the New Richmond District until it closed its doors in 1980.
The school at Market Street became overcrowded. As a result, of farmland were purchased from Maud Arnold on Bethel-New Richmond Road to build an elementary school. New Richmond Elementary (NRE) was dedicated on May 18, 1958. This left the Market Street School for grades 7-12. Later, in 1965 the New Richmond High School (NRHS) was erected next door to NRE, leaving the middle school at Market Street. Nine years later in 1974, a middle school was built on the same grounds as NRE and NRHS. This is now known as the Main Campus.
Until 1980 the administrative offices were housed in the Market Street building. They relocated to the Middle School and in 1983, the building was sold for $80,100. For the next seven years, the building remained vacant and was left to deteriorate. In 1990, the board repurchased the building at the original sale price of $80,100. Extensive renovations and repairs were made, and the building was once again used for public purposes.
The Market Street building was rededicated on August 27, 1995. The total cost of the repairs and remodeling was $2,500,000. It now serves as a community resource center. This building houses the NREVSD administrative offices, the New Richmond High School Graduation Academy, and the Boys and Girls Club of New Richmond
In 1997, a new elementary school was built to replace the Pierce Elementary building. This new school, Locust Corner Elementary (LCE), is located behind Pierce Elementary. The Pierce building has now been demolished. (Click here to view pictures.) Monroe and NRE underwent major renovations as well. The students and staff at Monroe Elementary spent on year, 1994-1995, in mobile classrooms during construction. Their sacrifice paid off when they moved back into the beautifully renovated and enlarged building.
History sometimes repeats itself. Just as had happened one hundred years earlier at the Market Street School, NRE was moved into another building, the Pierce elementary building, while renovations were being made. Luckily, this time it was not due to severe safety issues. Half of the NRE students and staff spent the 1998-1999 school year in the Pierce building, while the other half - students from the Moscow area - spent the year at Monroe Elementary.
