History

Near the building site of Olentangy Berlin High School, there was another school named Berlin Township School, which was operational from 1915 to 1973. The new school takes its name from the old facility. [2] In 2016, a levy was passed to get the funds to build the new school. The new school will provide more space for students as the district grows. [3]

In 2022, Olentangy Berlin was named the "Most Spirited High School in America" by Varsity Brands, and was awarded a check of $25,000 during a pep-rally on August 19. [4] [5] [6]
