Newbury High School

Newbury High School is a public high school in Newbury Township. It is the only high school in the Newbury Local Schools district. Their nickname is the Black Knights. It is the only school district in Geauga County that serves a single township, and the school has just 393 students in grades K-12 in the 2016-17 academic year. Consequently, the school will inevitably consolidate in the near future, most like either with West Geauga or the Berkshire school district.All grades (K-12) are located at the same site at 14775 Auburn Rd, just north of Kinsman Rd. (State Route 87). All grades from K-12 are located in the original building, which was built in the late 1920s.The school announced in April 2014 that the newest building constructed in the 1970s will no longer host Grades 4-6 due to declining enrollment and budget shortfalls. In 2015, it was announced that the Geauga County Public Library will relocate the Newbury Station into this building. .AthleticsNicknamed the Black Knights, Newbury High School offers multiple sports for both boys and girls, including soccer, football, wrestling, baseball, cross country and track, cross country and track, volleyball, and basketball.Through 1998, the Black Knights were part of the East Suburban Conference.
