      • Eastern Hancock High School is a public high school located just north of Charlottesville, Indiana. It is managed by the Community School Corporation of Eastern Hancock County. Schools in neighboring Wilkinson, Shirley, and Charlottesville consolidated in 1970 forming the Eastern Hancock district that includes all the eastern third of Hancock County.


      History


      Although Eastern Hancock's school district covers more area than any other school district in the county, it has the smallest number of enrolled students due to eastern Hancock County being mainly rural. The Community School Corporation of Eastern Hancock County represents the consolidation of the school's three townships: Brown, Blue River and Jackson. The towns of Wilkinson, Shirley, Charlottesville, Warrington, Willow Branch and parts of Greenfield are all in the Eastern Hancock School District.
      The school began in 1964–65, but the new Eastern Hancock Junior-Senior High School facilities were completed in 1971. The Elementary building was completed in 1979 and the Middle School was completed in 1996.
