Talawanda High School is a public high school in Oxford, Ohio. It is the only high school in the Talawanda School District.
Talawanda High School was created in 1956 when three Butler County high schools; Hanover, Stewart and McGuffey, were consolidated into one school. The first graduating class was in 1957.
The school benefits from close association with Miami University, where students are able to take college classes while in high school with a state grant covering tuitions, fees, and textbook expenses.
The high school on Chestnut Street was replaced in June 2012 by a new high school on University Park Blvd (on US 27, just south of town) approved in a 2008 levy.[4] The offices at the new location opened on 13 June 2012.[5] The old high school was torn down in September 2014 to make way for a parking facility for Miami University, which purchased the property for just over $1 million. The fieldhouse and outdoor athletic facilties remain.
