History
Princeton High School was established in 1955 and graduated its first class in 1959. In 1955, the school districts of Woodlawn, Glendale, Springdale, Crescentville, Sharonville, Runyan, Stewart and Evendale consolidated to form the Princeton City School District. The name was taken from the prevalent PR phone prefix used in the area and from Princeton Pike. Princeton High School was built on its current site in 1957-58.[7]
In 1970, the Ohio State Board of Education merged the predominantly white Princeton High School and the predominantly black Lincoln Heights High School,[8] bringing Princeton City School District to its current boundaries.[6] In 2010, plans were introduced to build a campus that would house both Princeton High School and the Princeton Community Middle School.[9] The New Campus opened in 2014.[10]
