History
Evelyn Hawley was Loveland High School's first graduate, the only graduating member of the Class of 1881. Until 1926, Loveland City Schools operated as separate Loveland East and Loveland West districts, and each district had its own high school. Loveland West High School was located in present-day Loveland's central business district, in the building that now houses Loveland Elementary School. Loveland East High School was built by Cincinnati architect Samuel Hannaford on Broadway Street and has since been converted into a church. The unified high school, named Loveland Hurst High School, was eventually located on the Hamilton County side of the city. Ann Donahue, a Loveland High School graduate, modeled the set of the television showM.Y.O.B. after this building. It also featured in the made-for-TV movie The Pride of Jesse Hallam. Loveland High School's current facilities were built in 1994 to replace aging Hurst High School. Hurst was then converted into a middle school. Two years earlier, Loveland City Schools purchased land in Symmes Township, just outside Loveland city limits. The district signed a contract in which the City agreed to provide the new high school with water and sewage services; in return, the district would push for Hamilton County to annex the high school into Loveland at the city's request. In 2009, the Hamilton County Board of Commissioners allowed Loveland to annex the school. In November 2012 Loveland staged a production of Legally Blonde, the 2007 Broadway stage musical, directed by Sonja Hanson a local dancer and choreographer. Despite prior approval of the script and open rehearsals the administrators objected to the play and told Ms. Hanson "You need to resign or you will be terminated."
