East Clinton Local High School is a public high school in Sabina, Ohio in the United States. It is the only high school in the East Clinton Local School District. The district was formed in 1966 from two districts of New Kenton Local Schools (formed the year before by combining Simon Kenton Local Schools and New Vienna Local Schools) and Sabina Local Schools. East Clinton Local Schools cover the eastern portion of Clinton County. It serves the students in the townships of Richland, Wayne, Wilson, and Green, as well as the villages of Sabina, Reesville, Lees Creek and New Vienna. The first graduating class was in 1966. Today there are about 1,200 students district wide, averaging approximately 350 at East Clinton High School.
2025 Football Coaching Controversy
East Clinton's athletic teams, known as the Astros, formerly participated in the Fort Ancient Valley Conference (1974–1977)[4] and Scioto Valley Conference. In 2012, East Clinton left the Southern Buckeye Athletic/Academic Conference (SBAAC) to join the South Central Ohio League, only to return to the SBAAC in 2017 upon the latter's closure.
The ECHS school board decided to not renew assistant coaches Floyd and Anderson's contracts even though they were recommended by the athletic department and superintendent for another season. This decision prompted head coach Olds to resign.
“Without warning or explanation, my top assistants were non-renewed,” Olds said. “Coach (Bryan) Floyd and coach (Nick) Anderson were recommended by the athletic department and by the superintendent but ultimately voted down by our school board. No explanation was ever given to me as to why.” -Wilmington News Journal
