Meigs High School is the creation of several school districts within Meigs County including Middleport, Pomeroy, Bedford, Northwestern, and Salem.

Consolidation took place between the years 1965 and 1967 with construction of the new school beginning in the summer of 1968.

The Marauders belong to the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) and the Tri-Valley Conference, a 16-member athletic conference located in southeastern Ohio.

The conference is divided into two divisions based on school size.

In its first year of participation as the Marauders, Meigs won the SEOAL Football Championship with a 9-1 record.
