History

The Evergreen Local School District was formed in 1964 with the merger of Fulton, Lyons, Metamora and Chesterfield districts in Fulton and Lucas counties. The district encompasses 128 square miles. Currently Evergreen operates four school -- three public and one parochial school. These schools serve more than 1400 students.

The district was named by Mrs. Ruth Gephart in the mid 60's. It was named as a symbol of continual growth; the word "ever" meaning long-living, the word "green" suggesting the deep root system representing the school and children. At first the mascot was a Viking ship representing strength. Over the years it became the Viking himself, fearless of no one. The fight song is the Notre Dame victory march shine your collars gold and green were loyal to evergreen onward to victory fight Vikings fight we got the spirit show us your might all those teams that we shall meet go Vikings go now we shall defeat onward to victory we'll never hide victory our goal and strength be our guide shine your collars gold and green were loyal to evergreen v-i-k-I-n-g-s go green!
