Lima Senior High School, the only high school in the Lima City Schools District, was established in 1955, in Lima, Ohio. When first built, the school had a very small student population, and there was concern that it would not be able to stay open. As the other high schools in Lima were being shutdown due to decreasing population, Lima Senior's student body population increased. There are approximately 1200 students currently enrolled at Lima Senior.
Lima Senior remained in the same building for 49 years, until one year before the building's fiftieth anniversary when it was replaced. The new building was under construction for two years, and was finally finished in 2004. Construction of the new buildings were contracted for $30,000,000 but went over budget by $20,000,000 totaling a cost of over $50,000,000[citation needed]. The new Lima Senior High School building contains three smaller schools, including the Performance Based, the Progressive Academy, and the School of Multiple Intelligences. Each school follows a different method of teaching core state of Ohio class requirements. Non-core subjects, such as music, combine students from all three schools.
Lima Senior displays the Lima City Schools Distinguished Alumni Hall of Fame in its main lobby and cafeteria as a mounting of large photographic portraits.
Lima Senior's mascot is the Spartan. Their stadium, Lima Stadium, is on the National Register fo Historic Places. They are a member of the Greater Buckeye Conference.
