Lew Wallace High School was a public high school located at 415 West 45th Avenue in Gary, Indiana. Named after the famous author and Civil War general Lew Wallace, the school was part of the Gary Community School Corporation. It served as a significant educational institution in the area and offered a variety of academic and extracurricular programs throughout its history. The school gained recognition for its emphasis on both academics and athletics. However, due to declining enrollment and financial challenges faced by the school district, Lew Wallace High School was closed in 2014. The building has since been unused, marking the end of an era for the community it once served. The closure was part of a broader restructuring effort within the school district to better manage resources and address budget constraints.
