Newcomerstown Schools
Newcomerstown is a small village south of New Philadelphia. The first school here started as a one room log house teaching all grades in 1856. In 1955 a tornado came through the town damaging many of the school buildings. The East and the West school got completely destroyed during the tornado so they decided to build two new buildings.
The East school had 7 rooms and the West school had 17 rooms and an auditorium. The West school had a cafeteria so the students at the East school were bussed to the West school to eat lunch.

Newcomerstown schools have come a long way from when they began. Every schools history is important not just Newcomerstown schools history.
