Xenia High School is a public high school in Xenia, Ohio. It is the only high school in the Xenia Community Schools district. The school's average daily student enrollment for the 2008-2009 school year was 1452. The Ohio Department of Education has given Xenia High School a rating of "Continuous Improvement" for the 2008-2009 school year; the school met 9 out of 12 state indicators.[3]
The original high school was destroyed by an F5 tornado on April 3, 1974, during what was dubbed as the Super Outbreak. A replacement building was constructed in the north of the city. Students from the high school and several other schools were relocated to Warner Middle School for three years until the new school was built.[4]
