History

On November 19, 1934, the Columbiana County Board of Education passed a resolution establishing the Beaver Rural School District. The district was a consolidation of the following existing rural school districts at that time: Elkrun, Madison, Middleton, Negley, St. Clair, and parts of Center and Fairfield Centralized. Later, the name of Beaver Rural School District was changed to Beaver Local School District.[3]
