      Education


      White River Township is served by the North Gibson School Corporation, and like neighboring Washington Township also has no schools of its own since the early 1970s.
      Prior to 1963, Hazleton High School and Patoka High School had students from the township. That year, those two schools merged into White River High School, which had the school colors as red, white, and blue and the mascots as the Little Giants. In 1965, that school in turn merged into Princeton Community High School. Nathan Blackford of Evansville Living described White River High as "Possibly the shortest-lived high school of the consolidation era" as many school districts and schools in 1960s Indiana were merging with one another.
