FITHIAN MUNCIE OUR GROWING COMMUNITIES Oakwood Township High School receives its students from five principal grade schools and communities. These grade schools are Diamond, Fithian, Muncie, Newtown, and Oakwood. When OTHS first organized in 1915, its territory included the villages of Oakwood, Muncie, Fithian, and the towns of Bronson, Newtown, Glenburn, Brothers Station and Missionfield. The population of the district was 2,772. In the first school year of 1916, the school had 88 students. The first graduating class, the class of 1917, had 7 students. In 1935 when the new gymnasium was approved, there were 246 students enrolled in the school. In 1952 and 1953 Atwood, Eureka, South Mount Pleasant, Batestown, Hillery, and a small part of the Fairmount territory petitioned into the district. At one time 14 grade schools supplied the student enrollment at OTHS. One by one, many of these schools have consolidated until today we have the 5 basic grade schools pictured on this page. Plans for the future include further consolidation of these grade schools and the possibility of a district junior high. NEWTOWN OAKWOOD
