Odessa High School is a public high school in unincorporated New Castle County, Delaware. It has a Townsend postal address,[1] while its name refers to nearby Odessa. It is a part of the Appoquinimink School District. The ducks are the mascot.
It is a part of the Fairview K-12 Campus, which is on a former corn field and also includes the Old State Elementary School and Spring Meadow Early Childhood Center.[2] It shares its building with Cantwell's Bridge Middle School.[3]
The Appoquinimink district began developing the complex circa 2010.[2]
The district selected the duck mascot in 2017.[4] The building had a cost of $148 million. Groundbreaking began in January 2018.[3]
Construction completed in fall 2020 and opened with grade 9 students. As the COVID-19 pandemic in Delaware occurred, the initial students did virtual learning. The athletic teams began in November 2020.[5]
