History
On November 19, 1934, the Columbiana County Board of Education passed a resolution establishing the Beaver Local Rural School District. The district was a consolidation of seven existing rural school districts at that time. The district was named after the Little Beaver Creek, which runs through most of the district. Later, the name was changed to the Beaver Local School District.[4] The high school was established in 1958, and constructed on ground in the middle of the district, in Madison Township.
In 2015, a new K-12 campus was constructed next to the former middle & high school site, moving the school just over the township line to St. Clair Township and the East Liverpool, Ohio zip code.
