History
On August 29, 2011, Beallsville High School began its 84th and final year in the old high school building, which opened in September 1928. The current K-12 at the time, was moved into the new school after Presidents Day weekend on February 21, 2012.
On February 26, 2015, the Switzerland of Ohio School Board voted to close the high school at the end of the school year, but the ruling was struck down in court, thus keeping the school open.
The school board voted again on May 29, 2025, to close Beallsville High School at the end of the school year and to transfer its high school students to either Monroe Central High School in Woodsfield or to River High School in Hannibal. The 7th and 8th graders would be moved to Beallsville Elementary.[2]
