History
Badger High School opened in the 1960, following the establishment of Joseph Badger School District, through the consolidation of several former township schools in Gustavus, Hartford, Kinsman and Vernon townships. The newly formed district was named in honor of Reverend Joseph Badger, a missionary and circuit-riding minister who served settlements throughout the Connecticut Western Reserve during the late 18th and 19th centuries.
The original Badger High School was closed following the 2005–2006 school year. In September 2006, the district opened their new K-12 campus along State Route 7. The $31.5 million facility replaced several older school buildings.[2]
