- Western School Corporation
Western School Corporation is a public school district which serves Russiaville, Alto, New London, West Middleton, and southwestern Kokomo in Howard County, Indiana. The school buildings themselves straddle two Howard County townships, Harrison and Monroe. The district itself spands three Howard County Townships: Harrison, Honey Creek and Monroe.
The school came to national attention in the mid-1980s due to its expulsion of hemophiliac Ryan White for being HIV-positive.
