- Symmes Valley High School (SVHS) is a public high school in Willow Wood, Ohio in Lawrence County in Southern Ohio. It is the only high school in the Symmes Valley Local School District. Their nickname is the Vikings and the official school colors are Scarlet and Grey. There are currently approximately 300 students in grades 9-12 at the school.
- Brief History
-
Symmes Valley High School was created with the consolidation of Waterloo High School (Waterloo Wonders), Windsor High School, and Mason-Aid High School. The first year of classes at the school began in 1961. Although the main portion of the building was constructed in 1961, there have been several building modernization projects and additions. Six additional classrooms were added to the school in the mid 1970's. Then in 1994, a major renovation occurred during the construction of a new elementary building on the same campus. During this renovation, all asbestos was removed from the building, a new heating and air conditioning system, new lights, new ceilings, and new windows were installed. At this time, a brand new band room was constructed at the rear of the building and the gym received new seating, a refurbishment of the floor, and new paint. In 2003, another multi-million dollar project was completed. A new, state-of-the-art library and media center was constructed along with new offices, a new kitchen and cafeteria, and several new classrooms. Also during this time, the entire building received new flooring, new lighting and ceilings again, all new interior doors, and painting. The home economics classroom was also completely remodeled. The gymnasium once again received new seating in the summer of 2007 along with a sanding and repainting of the gym floor.
