Pickerington High School Central

Pickerington High School Central is a public high school in Pickerington, Ohio. It is one of two high schools in the Pickerington Local School District. Their nickname is the Tigers. The school is called Central by most and is the oldest of the two high schools. Prior to the opening of Pickerington High School North, it was known simply as "Pickerington High School". Pickerington High School Central was known as Violet Township High School from 1906 to 1939 and as Pickerington High School from 1940 to 2003 before being renamed as its current title as Pickerington High School Central. Before that time there were many schools in the Pickerington/Violet Township area, including the Pickerington School (c.1883), a two-story, two room school that was built to replace the original building, which now houses Heritage Elementary.
