History
In Beavercreek Township, the first school was a log building on farm property. The first high school, Beavercreek Township High School, was built in 1888. In 1932, the high school, along with other Beavercreek schools, moved into one building, currently known as Main Elementary School. In 1950, the current Beavercreek High School was completed, though it has been renovated and expanded since. It changed from a four year to a three year high school in 1973 due to overcrowding. In the fall of 1999, the high school returned to a four year system.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Racism is an ism to which everyone in the world today is exposed; for or against, we must take sides. And the history of the future will differ according to the decision which we make.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
“It would be naive to think that peace and justice can be achieved easily. No set of rules or study of history will automatically resolve the problems.... However, with faith and perseverance,... complex problems in the past have been resolved in our search for justice and peace. They can be resolved in the future, provided, of course, that we can think of five new ways to measure the height of a tall building by using a barometer.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“The greatest horrors in the history of mankind are not due to the ambition of the Napoleons or the vengeance of the Agamemnons, but to the doctrinaire philosophers. The theories of the sentimentalist Rousseau inspired the integrity of the passionless Robespierre. The cold-blooded calculations of Karl Marx led to the judicial and business-like operations of the Cheka.”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
