History
The New Archbold High School was erected in 1990. It sits on LaFayette street, right next to the new elementary school, which was built in 1997. The High School has had several locations around their school district. It was located at the current middle school, which sits on Holland Street, but now sits on Lafayette. Former students used to ride the bus out to the school in Ridgeville. That building currently serves as the "Christ Community Church".
The nickname of the Blue Streak was given to Archbold High School by a former Archbold Coach M.A. Farber. Farber was the head coach at Archbold between 1930-49. After watching Sandusky play, he liked the name of Blue Streaks. Farber decided to call Archbold that since he knew they would probably never play each other because of the difference in school size. Farber gave them the name in 1933. Prior to that Archbold was known as "the Archbold Team." In the 1910s some of the fathers wanted Archbold to be called the Archbold Germans, because most of the players at that time were of German origin. But the name never caught on.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“While the Republic has already acquired a history world-wide, America is still unsettled and unexplored. Like the English in New Holland, we live only on the shores of a continent even yet, and hardly know where the rivers come from which float our navy.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The history of modern art is also the history of the progressive loss of art’s audience. Art has increasingly become the concern of the artist and the bafflement of the public.”
—Henry Geldzahler (1935–1994)
“The history of our era is the nauseating and repulsive history of the crucifixion of the procreative body for the glorification of the spirit.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
