The district encompasses all but the northeast corner of Bethel Township of Clark County, plus the southwestern corner of Pike Township of Clark County and part of the eastern side of Bethel Township of Miami County.

History

Olive Branch High School Olive Branch High School.jpg
Olive Branch High School

In March 1952, Tecumseh High School's initial construction was completed. The high school replaced New Carlisle High School (in the city of New Carlisle proper since 1921), and Olive Branch High School. In 1969 an expansion was built and contained more classrooms, auditorium, and a second gymnasium.

At the end of the 1980–1981 school year neighboring Oscar T. Hawke elementary school closed and the building became part of the Tecumseh High School campus at the beginning of the 1981–1982 school year. This was part of a major re-organization of the school district which included the closing of McAdams Elementary, and New Carlisle Elementary which had occupied the original New Carlisle High School. Also at that time ninth grade was moved from the junior high schools to the high school creating a four-year high school program. Additionally, sixth grade was moved from the elementary schools to the junior high buildings and the junior highs were changed to the middle school format of sixth, seventh, and eighth grades.

In late May 1989 a mild tornado flew over the school and did some roof damage to the Hawke building. This caused school to be closed for one day and finals for the classes housed in that building had to be moved to the main school building.

In the mid-2000s, all Tecumseh district schools were completely rebuilt. In 2007, as part of this project, the high school's old buildings, with the exception of the field house and auditorium, were demolished and replaced with new facilities.

Air Force Junior ROTC

In the fall of 1988 Aerospace Science was added to the curriculum in the form of Air Force Junior Reserve Office Training Corps. The unit designation is OH-881. (OH for Ohio, 88 for the year, and 1 because it was the first and only unit created in the state that year)

Wesley R. Williams, Staff Sergeant, United States Army, became the first alumnus of the school's JROTC program to be killed in combat on December 10, 2012. He died in Kandahar, Afghanistan, of wounds suffered when enemy forces attacked his unit with an improvised explosive device. He was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 38th Infantry Regiment, 4th Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division, under control of the 7th Infantry Division, Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington. [7] Williams was a member of the Tecumseh Class of 2005 and left behind a wife, a one-year-old daughter, and an unborn child. [8]
