Tecumseh Junior – Senior High School is a dual public high school and junior high school in Lynnville, Indiana. Its athletic nickname is the "Braves", and it participates in the Pocket Athletic Conference, although in 2007 the football program left the conference and began playing independently. It is a grade 7-12 education facility operated by the Warrick County School Corporation. The campus sits in between the towns of Lynnville and Elberfeld, the towns from which students attend. Students from the town of Selvin also attend THS.

Correct pronunciation of the school is {{IPAc-en|t|ə|ˈ|k|ʌ|m|s|i}}{{respell|tə|KUM|see}}. The school was named after the now-defunct Tecumseh coal mines {{cite web |url=http://www.itrcweb.org/miningwaste-guidance/cs37_tecumseh.htm |title=Mining Waste Treatment Technology Selection—Case Study—Tecumseh-AML Site 262–Warrick, Indiana |website=www.itrcweb.org |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150320190518/http://www.itrcweb.org/miningwaste-guidance/cs37_tecumseh.htm |archive-date=2015-03-20}} outside of Lynnville, which were operated by Peabody Coal Company, now Peabody Energy.

Tecumseh High School was created in 1965 as a result of the consolidation of Lynnville High School and Elberfeld High School.{{Cite web|url=http://www.evansvilleliving.com/articles/gone-but-not-forgotten|title=Gone but Not Forgotten | Evansville Living Magazine|date=17 July 2014 }} Selvin High School had been folded into Lynnville in 1962. From 1965-1982, Tecumseh was a 9-12 high school located in the former Lynnville High School building. Grades 7-8 had been housed at Lynnville Elementary School and Elberfeld Elementary School. A new building, which houses grades 7-12, opened in 1982, and the name was formally changed to "Tecumseh Junior - Senior High School."

A plan in 2008 to move grade 6 to the facility to make Tecumseh a middle-high school by 2011 faced opposition and wasn't implemented.{{cite web|url=http://archive.courierpress.com/news/local/327039851.html|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161119055045/archive.courierpress.com/news/local/327039851.html|archive-date=2016-11-19|title=Two schools in one, Tecumseh plan to be unveiled}} The proposed move would have brought Tecumseh into line with the school corporation's desire to move from a junior high to middle school concept countywide. The concept was implemented at the remaining county schools.
