Louisville High School

Louisville High School is a public high school located in Louisville, Ohio, USA. It is the only high school in the Louisville City School District. It serves all of the city of Louisville and the majority of the surrounding Nimishillen Township.HistoryThe first schoolhouse within Louisville was a one-room log cabin located on the corner of Nickelplate and Main Streets. It was built in the 1840s and was replaced by a two-room brick edifice in the 1850s. This new school was located on the northeast corner of Mill and Broad Streets. In 1872, Louisville's seat of learning was moved again to another two-room brick building, located upon South Chapel Street. Louisville's students moved to a larger, four-classroom building on the corner of Mill and Gorgas Street in 1876, where Louisville's current City Hall building now stands.In 1924, Louisville High School again moved to a much larger campus, which included ten classrooms, an auditorium, a gymnasium, and a library. This school was located on the corner of Gorgas and Mill Streets, just down the street from the previously-used school building. A third floor was added to the building in 1930, and a bussing system for the students began in 1936. In 1949, the school built an addition which linked the school to the Louisville City School District Administration Building on Main Street. Louisville High School remained at this location until 1967, when it became solely a middle school. Louisville Middle School was housed within this building until 2004, when a new middle school was constructed on South Chapel Street. The old building was demolished in 2009.The construction of Louisville High School's present campus commenced in 1964, and the new building opened in 1967. Additions and renovations to LHS occurred in 2004 and 2011.
