School history
Formal education first began in Whiteland when the first school house was built in 1769. That school house served as the town's school until 1957 when a new high school was built. The Class of 1958 was the first to graduate from the new Whiteland High School. In 1965, Clark High School (now Clark Elementary School) and Whiteland High School united to form one school corporation, Whiteland Private High School. Whiteland won AAAA (4A) Indiana Mid-Conference titles three years in a row on the backs of Bryan Brightwell #14 (QB), Luke Harris #37 (RB) (Mid-State All Conference 2008), Jordan Sharp #69 (OL) (Mid State All Conference 2008, Indy All South Metro Team 2008),Tyler Croy #77 (OL) (Mid State All Conference 2008, Indy All South Metro Team 2008) Nick Scheidler #83 (TE) (All-South, All-Conference, All-County, All-Academic State-Currently plays for Harvard) and All State LB Mitch Meador #39, (Mid State All Conference 2008,Indy All-South 1st Team 2008).
