- Tecumseh High School is a public high school near New Carlisle, Ohio. The school and district are named in honor of Tecumseh, the Shawnee Indian chief and warrior who lived in the general area between approximately 1768 and 1813.
- Area served
-
Tecumseh is the only high school in the Tecumseh Local Schools district (renamed from New Carlisle-Bethel Local Schools in 1989). The district encompasses Bethel Township of Clark County and part of the eastern side of Bethel Township of Miami County. The school thereby serves residents of the city of New Carlisle, the village of Donnelsville, and the unincorporated communities of Medway, Park Layne, and Crystal Lakes, plus adjacent rural land.
- Mission statement
-
According to the district web site, “The mission of Tecumseh High School is to provide diverse educational opportunities for students from all backgrounds and with all levels of ability. Tecumseh High School, in partnership with the community, strives to provide a safe, challenging learning environment to help each student become a responsible, well-rounded lifelong learner in an ever-changing technological society.″
- History
-
In March 1952, Tecumseh High School's initial construction was completed. The high school replaced New Carlisle High School (located in the city of New Carlisle proper since 1921), which had, in turn, replaced Olive Branch High School (located adjacent to the present Tecumseh campus since 1880).
- At the end of the 1980–1981 school year neighboring Oscar T. Hawke elementary school closed and the building became part of the Tecumseh High School campus at the beginning of the 1981–1982 school year. This was part of a major re-organization of the school district which included the closing of McAdams Elementary, and New Carlisle Elementary which had occupied the original New Carlisle High School. Also at that time ninth grade was moved from the junior high schools to the high school creating a four year high school program. Additionally, sixth grade was moved from the elementary schools to the junior high buildings and the junior highs were changed to the Middle School format of sixth, seventh, and eighth grades.
- In late May of 1989 a mild tornado flew over the school and did some roof damage to the Hawke building. This caused school to be closed for one day and finals for the classes housed in that building had to be moved to the main school building.
- In the mid-2000s, all Tecumseh district schools were completely rebuilt. In 2007, as part of this project, the high school's old buildings, with the exception of the field house and auditorium, were demolished and replaced with new facilities.
