They were Kyger Creek, North Gallia, Southwestern, and Hannan Trace Local School Districts. In 1983, the taxpayers of the school district approved a bond issue that paid for the construction of four new elementary schools: Bidwell-Porter, Hannan Trace, Southwestern and Vinton. It also provided for renovations at Addaville and Cheshire-Kyger. In 1991, the school district consolidated the four high schools that had represented the former local districts into one school at the former
