History
Eastern High School was formed through the consolidation of Olive-Orange High School in Tuppers Plains, Chester High School, and Riverview High School in Reedsville in 1958. Both the old high schools served as K-8th buildings in their respective communities until the construction of the new Eastern Elementary and Middle School was completed next door to the high school in 1999. The old Riverview School and its surrounding property were purchased by Shelly and Sands, Inc shortly there after and was demolished, much to the disapproval of community members in the Reedsville-Long Bottom area. The old Chester school serves as a community center. The Olive-Orange building is still operational in Tuppers Plains, housing both a preschool and the administrative offices of Eastern Local School District.
