History

The New Archbold High School was erected in 1990. It sits on LaFayette street, right next to the new elementary school, which was built in 1997. The High School has had several locations around our school district. It was located at the current middle school, which sits on Holland Street, but now sits on Lafayette. Former students used to ride the bus out to the school in Ridgeville. That building currently serves as the "Christ Community Church".
