Tecumseh High School is a public high school near New Carlisle, Ohio. The school and district are named in honor of Tecumseh, a chief of the Shawnee people who lived in the general area between approximately 1768 and 1813.
Tecumseh is the only high school in the Tecumseh Local Schools district (renamed from New Carlisle–Bethel Local Schools in 1989). The district encompasses all but the northeast corner of Bethel Township of Clark County, plus the southwestern corner of Pike Township of Clark County and part of the eastern side of Bethel Township of Miami County. The school thereby serves residents of the city of New Carlisle, the village of Donnelsville, the unincorporated communities of Medway, Park Layne, and Crystal Lakes, plus adjacent rural land.
According to the district web site, “The mission of Tecumseh High School is to provide diverse educational opportunities for students from all backgrounds and with all levels of ability. Tecumseh High School, in partnership with the community, strives to provide a safe, challenging learning environment to help each student become a responsible, well-rounded lifelong learner in an ever-changing technological society.″
In March 1952, Tecumseh High School's initial construction was completed. The high school replaced New Carlisle High School (located in the city of New Carlisle proper since 1921), and Olive Branch High School. In 1969 an expansion was built and contained more classrooms, auditorium, and a second gymnasium.
At the end of the 1980–1981 school year neighboring Oscar T. Hawke elementary school closed and the building became part of the Tecumseh High School campus at the beginning of the 1981–1982 school year. This was part of a major re-organization of the school district which included the closing of McAdams Elementary, and New Carlisle Elementary which had occupied the original New Carlisle High School. Also at that time ninth grade was moved from the junior high schools to the high school creating a four-year high school program. Additionally, sixth grade was moved from the elementary schools to the junior high buildings and the junior highs were changed to the middle school format of sixth, seventh, and eighth grades.
