School History
The first Frazeysburg High School building was built in the early 1900s. Its sports teams were called the Red Raiders. This is why State Route 16 in the area is called Raiders Road!
Later, Frazeysburg High School combined with Nashport High School and was renamed Frazeysburg-Nashport High School. This happened after Nashport High School closed because of the creation of Dillon Lake.
In 1966, Frazeysburg-Nashport High School, Jefferson High School, and Adamsville High School all merged. They formed the new Tri-Valley High School, which was built in Dresden. The old Frazeysburg High School building then became a junior high school for many years. After that, it was used as an Intermediate School for fifth and sixth graders. The old high school building was torn down in August 2008. During the demolition, a time capsule was found inside!
