History

The New Boston School District consisted of three schools until recently. The buildings constructed in the early 1900s included Stanton Elementary, Oak Street Intermediate, and Glenwood Junior-Senior High School. Glenwood housed grades 7-12, yet it was once the only school in the district and housed all grades.

In 2008, voters of New Boston approved a 7.61 mil levy to build a new $20 million Pre-K through 12 school building on #1 Glenwood Tiger Trail, which used to be Lakeview Avenue. The former Sun and Funland Pool once sat on the same location. The school purchased the land from the pool for $34,000. The local share of the $20 million school was only $3 million, and the rest is provided by the Ohio School Facilities Commission.^[1]

The school broke ground in February 2010 and opened in time for the 2012 school year. This is the first new school building built for New Boston since 1906.

Academics

In 2009, the New Boston School District was identified by the Ohio Department of Education as being among the top 30 districts in the state for students with special needs.^[2]

Athletics

Glenwood High School's athletic affiliation is with the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) and the Southern Ohio Conference, Southeastern District.^[3]
