Eastern Hancock High School is a public high school located just north of Charlottesville, Indiana. It is managed by the Community School Corporation of Eastern Hancock County. Schools in neighboring Wilkinson, Shirley, and Charlottesville consolidated in 1970 forming the Eastern Hancock district that includes all the eastern third of Hancock County.

History

The Community School Corporation of Eastern Hancock County represents the consolidation of the three school townships. The area of territory now includes Brown, Blue River, and Jackson Townships and the towns of Wilkinson, Shirley, Charlottesville, and Willow Branch.

The school began in 1964-65, but the new Eastern Hancock Junior-Senior High School facilities were completed in 1971. The Elementary building was completed in 1979 and the Middle School was completed in 1996.

Consolidation History to become the Community School Corporation of Eastern Hancock County:

Athletics

The Eastern Hancock High School Royals are a member of the Mid-Hoosier Conference in all sports except football. The football team participates in the Mid-Indiana Football Conference. Sports offered at EHHS include: tennis, cross country, football, volleyball, basketball, swimming, wrestling, baseball, softball, golf, and track and field. Their only state championship in any sport came in the fall of 1985, when the football team defeated Jimtown High School in the Class A title game 20-7.

Computing

Eastern Hancock uses a form of computer distribution known as 1:1 Computing. One to One computing is where all students and teachers are given a computer, or any other device that is similar. Laptops and desktops are the current standard, however, the students of Eastern Hancock High School and Eastern Hancock Middle School are given Netbooks. The teachers in all three schools (High School, Middle School, and Elementary School) get laptops.

Trivia

Although Eastern Hancock's school district covers more area than any other school district in the county, it has the smallest number of enrolled students due to eastern Hancock County being mainly rural.

Eastern Hancock won the 1985 Class A Football State Championship as well as the 2003 and 2011 State Science Academic Championship. The Eastern Hancock Fine Arts Team finished 6th in the State in 2012.

The Eastern Hancock FFA has won and/or placed in the top 5 at many area, state, and national judging contests in both the senior and junior divisions.
