History

The Hannan Trace Local School District was formed in 1965 as a replacement for Mercerville High School.

By 1974, declining rural populations, competition for students from the county-wide vocational high school, and the need for a broader sharing of the tax money from the power plant with other schools led to further consolidation, and the Hannan Trace Local School District was incorporated into the newly formed Gallia County Local School District along with Kyger Creek High School, North Gallia High School, and Southwestern High School. [2] The new district did not immediately consolidate the high schools, so Hannan Trace High School continued until 1992 with the three others. At that time, the other high schools were closed and their students were transported to the Kyger Creek High School building, which was renamed River Valley High School.

In 1996, the Gallia County School District decided to renovate the old Hannan Trace building and turn it into South Gallia High School. [3] The building served as the home of the Wildcats, and later, the Rebels, until 2009 when a newer building was set up on the western side of Old Hannan Trace Road and the former school was demolished.
