Turpin is accredited by the Ohio Department of Education and the North Central Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges.
[4] Original plans for the school called for an auditorium, but the design had to be scaled back due to cost overruns.
[9][10] The school consists of four main parts: an auditorium, a center section with a cafeteria and classrooms, a gymnasium, and an auxiliary gym.
The campus also includes athletic facilities which include a uniquely shaped baseball stadium (due to a lack of flat land area) which has undergone several major improvements and renovations in recent years (2005-2006).
Turpin's athletic programs include, for boys and girls, cross country, golf, soccer, tennis, basketball, bowling, diving, swimming, and track and field.
