History
The Southington Local School District was formed in 1907. following the consolidation of several smaller schools within the township. Newton Chalker, an attorney who was born in Southington in 1842[2], agreed to pay for the construction of the Chalker High School building as long as the town agreed to pay the construction of the elementary school building.[3][4] The original Chalker High School and Southington Elementary School were completed in 1907, with Chalker High School costing $20,000 to build and Southington Elementary School $6,000. The high school was constructed in the Neoclassical Revival architectural style, including fluted columns and a pedimented gable. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 4, 2011.[5]
In 2011, Southington Local Schools built their new PK-12 campus on donated land from Mr. and Mrs. Donaldson, both residents of Southington located at Ohio State Route 534.[6]
