History

The Gallia County Local School District was formed by the consolidation of four smaller school districts in 1974.[1] They were Kyger Creek, North Gallia, Southwestern, and Hannan Trace Local School Districts. In 1983, the taxpayers of the school district approved a bond issue that paid for the construction of four new elementary schools: Bidwell-Porter, Hannan Trace, Southwestern and Vinton. It also provided for renovations at Addaville and Cheshire-Kyger. In 1991, the school district consolidated the four high schools that had represented the former local districts into one school at the former Kyger Creek High School near Cheshire. The high school was renamed River Valley High School. The old Hannan Trace High School, located north of Crown City, was reopened and renamed South Gallia High School in 1996.

gollark: SSDs still cost ~4x more per GB and the reliability is not that different in a stationary system.
gollark: Depends on use pattern - do you want to read only, or read and write lots, or what? In general probably not.
gollark: So yes, anyway, there's non-computer progress and dismissing the computer progress is stupid.
gollark: Modern general purpose compression algorithms are also somewhat better than they were and improving.
