Loveland High School is a public high school located in Symmes Township in Hamilton County, Ohio, United States, just outside the city limits of Loveland. It is part of Loveland City School District, serving the communities of Loveland, Symmes Township, and Miami Township. As part of a stable yet economically (if not racially) diverse community, its range of educational programs, from college preparatory to vocational, provide a competitive alternative to private secular and religious institutions.

The school's sports teams, known as the Tigers, are members of the Buckeye Division of the Fort Ancient Valley Conference.

[edit] History

Evelyn Hawley was Loveland High School's first graduate, the only graduating member of the Class of 1881.[2]

Until 1926, Loveland City Schools operated as separate Loveland East and Loveland West districts, and each district had its own high school.[3] Loveland West High School was located in present-day Loveland's central business district, in the building that now houses Loveland Elementary School. Loveland East High School, located on Broadway Street, was built by Cincinnati architect Samuel Hannaford and is now a church.

The unified high school, named Loveland Hurst High School, was eventually located on the Hamilton County side of the city. Ann Donahue, a Loveland High School graduate, modeled the set of the television show M.Y.O.B. after this building.[4]

Loveland High School's current facilities were built in 1994[1] to replace Hurst High School, which was turned into a middle school. In 1992, after buying land to build the school, Loveland City Schools signed a contract, in which the City of Loveland agreed to provide the new high school with water and sewage services; in return, the district would push for Hamilton County to annex the high school into Loveland at the city's request.[5] As of 2008, the school has yet to be annexed into Loveland and is pursuing an arrangement in which Loveland High School would exist dually within Loveland and Symmes Township.[6]
