As of August 2014, Greenon High School has switched to a Jr./Sr. High School, now containing grades 7–12.

As of May 2017, a levy was passed that allows a new school to be constructed on the site of the current middle school, Indian Valley. The new school is planned to contain k-12. The current high school building will be torn down but the sports facilities will remain.

In September 2021, Greenon opened its new K-12 campus in Enon. The old Greenon Junior/Senior High School building and Indian Valley Middle School building were demolished. The athletic complex still remains at the site of the old high school.
