Buckeye Valley High School is a rural public high school located in Delaware County's Troy Township, north of Delaware, Ohio. It is the only high school in the Buckeye Valley Local School District. The mascot is the Fighting Baron. BVHS was part of the Mid-Ohio Athletic Conference, but will be joining the Mid-State League in 2019.
The Buckeye Valley High School Barons was established in 1963 as a consolidation of the Elm Valley (Ashley) Aces, the Radnor (Local) Trojans, and the Scioto Valley (Ostrander) Rockets and combined the towns of Bellpoint, Ashley, Radnor, Ostrander, and Norton. The combining of the towns is where the school's mascot, the baron, comes from. The high school building located on Coover Road in Troy Township still exists to this day. It has had one expansion in 1997 and was added onto once again in 2010. Over the years, BVHS had around 600 students; however, today it houses approximately 800 students in grades 9–12.
