The New Archbold High School was erected in 1990. It sits on LaFayette street, right next to the new elementary school, which was built in 1997. The High School has had several locations around their school district. It was located at the current middle school, which sits on Holland Street, but now sits on Lafayette. Former students used to ride the bus out to the school in Ridgeville. That building currently serves as the "Christ Community Church".

The nickname of the Blue Streak was given to Archbold High School by a former Archbold Coach M.A. Farber. Farber was the head coach at Archbold between 1930-49. After watching Sandusky play, he liked the name of Blue Streaks. Farber decided to call Archbold that since he knew they would probably never play each other because of the difference in school size. Farber gave them the name in 1933. Prior to that Archbold was known as "the Archbold Team." In the 1910's some of the fathers wanted Archbold to be called the Archbold Germans, because most of the players at that time were of german origin. But the name never caught on.
