History
The Princeton City School District was established in 1955, combining Cresentville, Evendale, Sharonville, Glendale, Stewart, Runyan, Woodlawn and Springdale School Districts. Only Sharonville and Glendale had high schools. 3 years after the merger of the 8 districts, a kind donation of land from Marianna Matthews allowed the building of Princeton High School, the current building that stands on Chester Road in Sharonville. The auditorium was named after the Matthews in honor of their donation. The current middle school, Princeton Community Middle School was then built. All new elementary schools were built by the end of January 2008 for each city/village and the 2009 Bond levy passage is allowing a new high school/middle school to be built on the current site of the middle school. That building is projected to open for the 2013-2014 school year.Schools
