United Local High School is a public high school in Hanoverton, Ohio, United States. It is the only high school in the United Local School District.

History

On July 19, 1944, the then Hanover Rural School District held a special meeting for the purpose of consolidating with two other districts formerly known as the Kensington Special School District and the Butler School District. Between the three districts, eleven one-room school houses would thereafter "unite" under one roof as the United Local School. Specifically, the first phase of this new building was the Elementary building, constructed with fifteen classrooms in 1951. As the number of students grew and advanced through the grades, classes were added and the High School was completed in 1955. Today, those original high school classrooms house our seventh and eighth grade students. Additional classes and renovations came about in subsequent years, with the next major additions to take place in 1966. Eight years later, an elementary gymnasium was added (Brautigam Center). The elementary expanded with additional classrooms in 1984. Following suit was the high school with a number of major additions in 1993. At this time, the Brautigam Center was also renovated to accommodate kindergarten classrooms. More recently, a new auditorium and gymnasium were added in 1997, along with a third level of classrooms in the high school. In 2001, a new football stadium with a surrounding rubberized track was constructed. The newest addition that in 2004, added a wing that added six rooms to the east wing of the elementary and relocated the elementary office to the front of the building, with a parent drop-off driveway.[2]
