Big Walnut Local School District was formed by a legislative action of the Delaware County Board of Education in January 1950. The previous rivals of Galena and Sunbury School districts were abolished and the new district was formed. It was named for the Big Walnut Creek which flows through both towns.
Prior to consolidation, the Sunbury District had purchased 56 acres of land south of Sunbury and north of Galena in preparation for building a new high school. Galena had likewise passed a levy to build but had not purchased the land. The merged district needed the new school so it was decided to build on the land formerly owned by Sunbury School. Since then, the land has been annexed into the village for water and sewer.
October 27th,1950, A.D. St. Clair of the State Department of Education broke ground for the high school at 105 Baughman Street on 56 acres of land purchased prior to consolidation, Big Walnut High School opened in 1951. It housed 8th through high school students for a year.
The first one story building in the Big Walnut Local School District was very modern with the best gym in the county. The school had science labs, shop labs, as well as vocational agriculture and home economic rooms.
On September 17, 1991, the new Big Walnut High School opened at 555 South Old 3-C Highway on part of the original 50 acres Sunbury School had owned. Located south of the former Big Walnut High School which now became a Junior High School, this building sat where a former ecology center had been. One addition was added in 2006, but ultimately the tenants outgrew the facility, moving into the current building in January of 2022.
