Firelands High School is a public high school in Lorain County, Ohio.
The Firelands Local School District was officially formed in 1952 with the consolidation of the Brownhelm, Camden, Florence and Henrietta school districts. Firelands High School absorbed South Amherst High School and its school district during the summer of 1988.
A formal dedication and open house of the current building was held on November 21, 1954. The first class to graduate from Firelands High School was the class of 1955, with 43 students. The school is located in Henrietta Township (at 10643 Vermilion Road) and serves the townships of Brownhelm, Camden, Florence (in Erie County), Henrietta, and the village of South Amherst.[3]
The school's official colors are red and white, and their teams' nickname is "Falcons." School colors often include black, but it is not an official school color.[4] The school is a member of the Stars division of the Patriot Athletic Conference as of the 2011-12 school year. Their primary rival is the Vermilion High School Sailors. Both of the towns are close to each other and the Football and Basketball games between the two schools bring out an immense amount of spirit from both communities and schools. They were previously members of the West Shore Conference (WSC).
