Fairview High School is a public high school in Sherwood, Defiance County, Ohio, United States. It is the only high school in the Central Local School District.

History

In 1958, all high school students in the area that would come to be known as the Central Local School District came to Farmer High School. Since the title of “Farmer” was inaccurate, considering that students from Mark Center, Sherwood, Ney as well as Farmer attended, administrators decided that the school needed a new name. It was then determined that there should be a competition to figure out the new name of the school. The three finalists were the names Fairview, Green Meadows, and William Manahan, which Fairview won. Then another contest was held for the nickname. After several rounds of voting, the students decided on three more finalists: Apaches, Spartans, and Titans. The winning entry (Apaches) was submitted by Ward Fritz, Social Studies teacher, and Boys Basketball head coach.
