History

Education in Bristol Township began in 1810, though secondary schooling as not introduced until near the end of the 19th century. The first students at Bristol High School graduated in 1888. The centralization of Bristol's education began in 1915 with the construction of a new three-story building, which was completed in 1918. In 1988, Bristol Local School District merged with the neighboring Farmington Local School District, which gave the school district 400 additional pupils. The West Farmington school was used as the k-8 building until the 2004-2005 school year when the Bristol expansion was finished. The playground was not taken to the Bristol school at the time of the move and is now set up as a public play space in West Farmington. The building is currently owned by a private citizen. In 2018, the school district celebrated the one hundredth anniversary of the current building.
