Our school went through a catastrophic event. It was December 12, 1992 when an electrical fire that started in the computer lab in the elementary. Just 24 years after the school Southern Wells was formed and it’s whole elementary burned to the ground! The only wall left is located in the elementary gym hallway. The High School was never touched except for the right side of the ramp leading up to the high school. But our high school has been around for a lot longer than that! Before Southern Wells was formed in 1968 we were known as the Chester Township Indians! My grandpa graduated from Chester in 1954. Can you believe that? There were three others too Liberty Center Lions, Jackson Center Jaguars, and the Petroleum Panthers! We still have the original banners in our gym today! Our great school has been through a lot to make it the amazing learning place it is today.
