Pickerington High School Central is a public high school in Pickerington, Ohio. It is one of two high schools in the Pickerington Local Schools district. Their nickname is the Tigers. Prior to the opening of Pickerington High School North, it was known simply as "Pickerington High School". Pickerington High School was known as Violet Township High School from 1906 to 1939. Before that time there were many schools in the Pickerington/Violet Township area, including the Pickerington School (c.1883), a two-story, two room school that was built to replace the original building, which now houses Heritage Elementary.

Pickerington Ridgeview Junior High School is located at 130 Hill Road South. Ridgeview Junior High was formerly Pickerington Junior High, and before that was Pickerington High School. The school was built in 1964 to replace the building that currently houses Heritage Elementary, which was the first school ever built in Pickerington in 1807. Ridgeview is home to Pickerington Tiger Stadium, which houses both the football field and track.
