Hillsdale High School is a high school in Jeromesville, Ohio. The mascot is the Falcon, and the school colors used to be Columbia blue and gold, but recently Navy blue and gold are the colors. The school was founded in the 1920s-1930s, and a student actually chose the name and mascot. They can be referred to as the Hillsdale Falcons, or Hillsdale Hillbillies for fun.

History

The idea for Hillsdale High School was born in 1961 when Jeromesville and Hayesville decided to merge their school districts. Joyce Justice's suggestion for the name "Hillsdale" was selected as the winner of the contest to name the school.[2] A committee made up of representatives from both districts agreed on the school colors of Columbia blue and gold, and the nickname the "Falcons".[2] The school eventually opened in the fall of 1965.

Hillsdale was a member of the Firelands Conference until 1970, when they were asked to replace Triway High School in the Wayne County Athletic League, despite not being located in Wayne County.[2] Hillsdale recorded the first WCAL football championship for a non-Wayne County school in 2010 when they won the league title outright.
