History

1875 marked the erection of the Batesville schoolhouse which was a two-story, four room brick building. To keep up with the increasing population there was an addition made to the schoolhouse in 1888, and in 1896 a second schoolhouse was built. As the town continued to grow it became apparent that a separate high school was needed. Batesville High School was constructed in 1927 on a large plot of land donated to the Batesville school system by George M. Hillenbrand. In 1963, the Batesville schools consolidated with the schools of Hamburg, St. Mary's and Oldenburg, which marks the beginning of the Batesville Community School Corporation. Due to the rapid growth of the school district from the consolidation it became necessary to build a new high school. Construction on the new high school finished in the fall of 1968, and still serves as the home to Batesville High School. Growing enrollment in the district has resulted in a $12 million addition to the school in 2000 and a $10 million addition in 2017. [2]

Batesville High School is a member of the Eastern Indiana Athletic Conference. [3] The Bulldogs compete in 19 Indiana High School Athletic Association sanctioned sports.

All eight member schools are located in rural southeast Indiana, spread across Dearborn, Decatur, Fayette, Franklin, Ripley, and Rush counties.
