History

Lloyd Memorial High School was established in 1928 upon the merger of the Erlanger and Elsmere school districts. The school was named after the pharmacist John Uri Lloyd, who gave money and books for the new school.[3]

In 1956, the school was one of the first high schools in the United States to be racially desegregated after the United States Supreme Court's decision in Brown v. Board of Education. Its success in doing so was featured in a Life magazine article.[3]
