History

In the early 1850s, the state of Ohio passed a law making school attendance mandatory, which led to the construction of the Union High School building on 6th and Washington Streets. The Central High School building was constructed in 1875 under longtime superintendent James L. MacDonald. The building was a three-story structure located on 9th street where the former MacDonald Elementary School still stands. This building accommodated all students in grades one through twelve for a time.

In 1917, as the population continued to grow in Wellsville, a new high school was constructed on Center Street. Superintendent Seward E. Daw came to Wellsville in 1921, briefly after the new high school was opened. In the mid-late 1930s, a gymnasium addition was added to the high school along with additional classroom space for home economics and the growing music program. The gymnasium was constructed alongside the school and named Beacom Gymnasium after Bryron D. Beacom. At that time, the annex cost $100,000 and was dedicated in 1939. In 1954, a new junior high was built adjoined to the high school building. It served students in grades seven and eight, along with special education students and was named Daw Junior High in honor of the superintendent. A successful levy was passed in 1996 for the school district which led to the construction of a new high school which opened in 2001. In 2014, junior high aged students in grades seven and eight from Daw Middle School were moved to the high school building. Seventh grade was moved back to Daw Elementary School in 2017.

Academics

According to the National Center for Education Statistics, in 2019, the school reported an enrollment of 250 pupils in grades 8th through 12th, with 247 pupils eligible for a federal free or reduced-price lunch. The school employed 23.00 teachers, yielding a student–teacher ratio of 10.87. [1]

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 student, taking core courses at Wellsville, while taking career or technical education at the career center, or as a full time student instead. Students may choose to take training in automotives, construction technology, cosmetology, culinary arts, health sciences, information technology, multimedia, landscape & environmental design, precision machining, veterinary science, and welding. [4]

A student must earn 28 credits to graduate, including: 4 credits in a mathematics sequence, 3 credits in science, including life and physical science, 4 credits in English, 3 credits in a social studies sequence, 1 credit in fine art, 1 credit in health and physical education, 1 credit in personal finance, and 4.5 elective credits. [5] Elective courses can be in English, science, social studies, foreign language, technology and business, family and consumer science, and fine art. Students attending the career center follow the same basic requirements, but have requirements in career & technical education rather than fine arts. All students must pass Ohio state exams in English I & II, Algebra I, Geometry, Biology, American History, and American Government, or the like. [5]
