Brief history

At the start of the 1964-65 school year Glouster High School and Jacksonville-Trimble (known as J-T) High School consolidated. From 1964 until 1973 the school was known as Glouster High School. In 1973 a new school opened just outside Jacksonville in Trimble Township. The school adopted the name of the township becoming Trimble High School. The mascot and color scheme was the idea of football coach Carl Bachman in 1929. When the schools consolidated, it was agreed that the Glouster Tomcat, rather than the J-T Cardinal, would be the mascot of the school and the J-T colors of red and white would be the official colors of the school. Later the color grey was added as an accent color, thus incorporating the colors of both former schools. The present high school was built in 1986 in Glouster by State and local funding. It was up-dated in 1998. The school has between 310 to 340 students and a staff of around 30 . The high school is also the home of the district offices.

Athletics

The Tomcats belong to the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) and the Tri-Valley Conference, a 16-member athletic conference located in southeastern Ohio. The conference is divided into two divisions based on school size. The Ohio Division features the larger schools and the Hocking Division features the smaller schools, including Trimble. In 2013 the Tomcat football team reached the State's final only to be defeated by Marion Local. Ending a record season at 14-1.
