Anderson High School is a public high school in the Forest Hills Local School District in Hamilton County, Ohio.

History

Established in 1929, Anderson High School is a high school in the Greater Cincinnati area. Anderson was a Blue Ribbon School from 1994 - 1996 as awarded by the United States Department of Education [3] When founded, the school mascot was a comet, but the mascot was changed to Redskins prior to the 1936-37 school year.

In 2017, renovations began on the aging Anderson High School building. Construction is said to be done by the end of 2019.[4]

Mascot

In July 2020, the board of the Forest Hills Local School District voted 4-1 to retire the Redskins as Anderson High's mascot.[1][5] The new mascot, Raptors was announced in March, 2021.[6]
