Alliance High School is a public high school in Alliance, Ohio. It is the only high school in the Alliance City Schools district. The current facility is the third building to be known as Alliance High School. Currently it houses grades 9 through 12 with an enrollment of approximately 1,000 students. The sports teams for the high school are known as the Aviators in respect for the airplane production plants in the area in the 1920s. These included Taylorcraft and ArgoHess to name a few. They are in the Northeastern Buckeye Conference. The school has its own airplane outside the building that was a former war plane.
From 1958 to 1964 the championship hardware spent most of its time back in Stark County, but those teams were beginning to loose their tight fisted grasp on the state title. Alliance finished atop the AP poll in ‘58, but shared state honors with UPI winner Marion Harding. In ’59 and ’60 Massillon Washington took first place in both polls, but in 1961 Niles McKinley gained the top spot in the UPI poll, while Massillon again grabbed top honors in the AP poll. In 1962 a powerful Toledo Central Catholic squad took top honors in both polls, while Niles McKinley did likewise in ’63, with Massillon back on top in ‘64.
