East Clinton Local High School is a public high school in Sabina, Ohio in the United States. It is the only high school in the East Clinton Local School District.

East Clinton Local Schools cover the eastern portion of Clinton County. It serves the students in the townships of Richland, Wayne, Wilson, and Green, as well as the villages of Sabina, Reesville, Lees Creek and New Vienna. The first graduating class was in 1966. Today there are about 1,200 students district wide, averaging approximately 350 at East Clinton High School.

Athletics

East Clinton's athletic teams, known as the Astros, formerly participated in the Fort Ancient Valley Conference (1974–1977) [4] and Scioto Valley Conference. In 2012, East Clinton left the Southern Buckeye Athletic/Academic Conference (SBAAC) to join the South Central Ohio League, only to return to the SBAAC in 2017 upon the latter's closure.

2025 Football Coaching Controversy

The ECHS school board decided to not renew assistant coaches Floyd and Anderson's contracts even though they were recommended by the athletic department and superintendent for another season. This decision promted head coach Olds to resign.

“Without warning or explanation, my top assistants were non-renewed,” Olds said. “Coach (Bryan) Floyd and coach (Nick) Anderson were recommended by the athletic department and by the superintendent but ultimately voted down by our school board. No explanation was ever given to me as to why.” -Wilmington News Journal
