About

Tri-West Hendricks High School was constructed in 1975, with a junior high (Tri-West Middle School) later added in 1983 (a new junior high was completed in 2003, into which the 6-8 graders moved).^[2] Tri-West was formed from the consolidation of three high schools: Pittsboro, Lizton, and North Salem. This also caused the formation of the North West Hendricks School Corporation. In Pittsboro, the original gym remains as part of the elementary school. The high school was expanded and renovated between the years of 2008 to 2010. It holds grades 9-12 from the townships of Middle, Union, and Eel River. The school mascot is the Bruin. The school colors are navy blue and vegas gold. The location of the school is rural, surrounded by mainly farmland. It is not an ethnically diverse school, as the students are nearly all (96.5%) caucasian, respectively.^[3]
