It is the only high school in the Loveland City School District, serving the communities of Loveland, Symmes Township, and Miami Township.

Affiliations

Loveland High School has been accredited by the Ohio Department of Education and North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools.[8] It is involved with the service organization Unified for UNIFAT. The school has been a member of the Fort Ancient Valley Conference (FAVC) since 1997.[5] The Tigers football team plays in the FAVC Buckeye Division, while other athletic teams play in the East Division.[9] Loveland, along with other East Side schools, plans to form a separate league in fall 2012.[10]

Academics

Loveland High School uses a 10-point grading scale.[11]

History

Evelyn Hawley was Loveland High School's first graduate, the only graduating member of the Class of 1881.[12]

Until 1926, Loveland City Schools operated as separate Loveland East and Loveland West districts, and each district had its own high school.[13] 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 was built by Cincinnati architect Samuel Hannaford on Broadway Street and has since been converted into 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.[14] It also featured in the made-for-TV movie The Pride of Jesse Hallam.[15]

Loveland High School's current facilities were built in 1994[8] to replace aging Hurst High School. Hurst was then converted into a middle school. Two years earlier, Loveland City Schools purchased land in Symmes Township, just outside Loveland city limits. The district signed a contract in which the City 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.[16] In 2009, the Hamilton County Board of Commissioners allowed Loveland to annex the school after a disagreement with the school board.[17][18]
