History

For 50 years, the city of Columbiana was served by various one-room schoolhouses. School District Number Two had been organized as a special district in 1861 and completed the first contemporary CHS in the fall of 1864, on Pittsburgh Street. [3] A second building to this campus was completed in 1873, but shut down 10 years later in favor of additions. The first class graduated in 1881 with two students. [3]

A new facility was built in 1909 adjacent from the former. [3] An addition, including an auditorium and gymnasium, was accomplished in 1923. In 1955, the primary school was spun off into its own building, with a junior high building following in 1962. [3] In 1998, the now Columbiana Exempted Village School District secured funding to begin the construction for a new Columbiana High School, which was constructed beside South Side Middle School on Columbiana-Waterford Road. The new CHS opened in the fall of 2000. [3]

Academics

According to the National Center for Education Statistics, in 2019, the school reported an enrollment of 310 pupils in grades 9th through 12th, with 85 pupils eligible for a federal free or reduced-price lunch. The school employed 21.01 teachers, yielding a student–teacher ratio of 14.75. [4] Columbiana High School offers courses in the traditional American curriculum. Entering their third and fourth years, students can elect to attend the Columbiana County Career and Technical Center in Lisbon as either a part-time or full-time student. [5]
