The Huntington County Community School Corporation operates Salamonie School, a K-5 school which is the only remaining school in Warren. The former Salamonie Township High School was consolidated into Huntington County Community High School, now known as Huntington North High School, in 1966.[5] Warren Elementary School operated in the old high school building for many years, its basketball team having adopted the old high school's nickname; "Lightning 5." However, the school was eventually closed and the nickname retired. The building served as the Knight Civic Center until the name was changed to its current name the "Knight Bergman Center".
History
Warren, originally known as "Jonesboro," had its beginning in 1837 when Samuel Jones offered lots for sale in the area. The name was changed due to there being another town of Jonesboro nearby, south of Marion.[6]
