It is the only secondary school in the Beaver Local School District, and serves the communities of Calcutta, Lake Tomahawk, and Rogers in southeastern Columbiana County, as well as parts of surrounding Elkrun, Madison, Middleton, and St. Clair townships. Athletic teams compete as the Beaver Local Beavers in the Ohio High School Athletic Association as a member of the Buckeye 8 Athletic League as well as the Ohio Valley Athletic Conference.

History

Шаблон:Main On November 19, 1934, the Columbiana County Board of Education passed a resolution establishing the Beaver Local Rural School District. The district was a consolidation of seven existing rural school districts at that time. The district was named after the Little Beaver Creek, which runs through most of the district. Later, the name was changed to the Beaver Local School District.

The high school was established in 1956, and constructed on ground in the middle of the district, in Madison Township. It opened to about 400 students from both district grade schools as well as the nearby high schools of David Anderson, East Liverpool, and East Palestine. The school colors of red and white were chosen by the Board of Education. The first class graduated in 1959 with 70 students.

In 2015, a new K–12 campus was constructed next to the former middle school site, moving the school just over the border into St. Clair Township.

Academics

According to the National Center for Education Statistics, in 2019, the school reported an enrollment of 499 pupils in grades 9th through 12th, with 496 pupils eligible for a federal free or reduced-price lunch. The school employed 28.00 teachers, yielding a student–teacher ratio of 17.82.

Beaver Local High School offers courses in the traditional American curriculum. Most course sequences are either on an Advanced Placement track, postsecondary oriented track, or career oriented track. Advanced Placement courses are available in calculus AB, English literature, English language, U.S. government, and U.S. history. The high school offers a dual enrollment program where high school students take courses at or through local higher education institutions, to earn college credits while they remain enrolled at the high school. Partnerships are offered with Eastern Gateway Community College, Kent State University at East Liverpool, and Youngstown State University, with courses at the high school available in English, technology, and business, and select courses at the university campuses also eligible.

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 BLHS, 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.

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. 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.
