Anderson Community School Corporation School District

Anderson Community School Corporation, is a school district located in Anderson, Indiana.

Originally there were three public high schools: the original Anderson High School, which dated from the early 1900s, Madison Heights High School, which was founded in 1956, and Highland High School, which was also built in 1956 and was a rural school until it was incorporated into Anderson in the 1970s. In late 1996/early 1997 Anderson Community School Corporation (ACSC) determined that the old Anderson High School building, located at 14th and Lincoln streets, was not in adequate condition to continue classes. It was decided that that building would close and the Madison Heights High School would be renamed Anderson High School. On June 25, 1999, there was a fire at the old Anderson High School Building as a result of arson. There are two located outside Anderson city limits, but have been incorporated into the Anderson Community School System. These are Killbuck and Valley Grove Elementary Schools. Read more...
