1964, the Mingo Junction Board of Education obtained an option
from George Wilson Jr. and Sr. to purchase 157 acres for the new
school complex, including the Hills Elementary School. Approved
by voters in the 1964 election, the transaction was then completed.
Grading began immediately and construction started in 1965. In
September 1968 the new Hill School was opened. It accommodates
the first six grades and kindergarten.
