History
The West Branch Local School District was formed in the mid 1900s, with the consolidation of smaller one-room schools in Beloit and surrounding townships.
The original West Branch High School was located at the current West Branch Early Learning Center on South Pricetown Rd in Salem, Ohio. It was later relocated to its current building in 1963.[2]
In June 2001, West Branch faced an outbreak of bacterial meningitis that killed two high school students. A third student was hospitalized but survived the illness.[3][4]
In 2023, the West Branch Intermediate School was closed, with 5th grade students moving back to an elementary schedule. Grades 3rd through 7th would later move to the middle school.[5]
