Inscription.
The first one room school opened in Cridersville in 1866. In 1924 the Village added its first four year high school curriculum. Before then, high school age students attended and graduated from schools in Lima or Wapakoneta. With a new high school, a mascot was needed. The Ram known for its strength, determination and leadership-was the perfect choice For more than 40 years, Cridersville students and residents cheered their Rams to victory.
