Peebles High School

Peebles High School is a public high school located in Peebles, Ohio. It is one of three high schools in the Adams County/Ohio Valley School District. The other schools are North Adams and West Union. The district also has a vocational school (Ohio Valley Career and Technical Center).BackgroundThe current Peebles High School building was completed in August 1997, along with three other public high schools in Adams County, North Adams, Manchester, and West Union High School. All four schools used the same layout and appear almost identical from the air.ControversyThe four regular public high schools in Adams County were built at the same time and all four featured a large granite tablet outside the school carved with the Ten Commandments. They were removed after a lengthy four-year legal battle over the placement of the tablets on public property. In Peebles, the tablet now is located directly across the street facing the high school on the property of the Peebles Baptist Church.AthleticsAll Peebles teams are nicknamed "The Indians," because of the town's close proximity to Serpent Mound.The school has Jr. high and high school sports in soccer, cross country, golf, volleyball, baseball and basketball.
