History

The Jefferson Area Local School District formed in the mid-20th century, following the consolidation of several small one-room schools in Jefferson, Rock Creek and Roaming Shores.[2] Jefferson Area High School was built shortly after in 1962.

In 2009, a new junior/senior high school was constructed in 2007 and opened in 2009 to modernize the high school and middle school facilities.[3]
