High school career

Diebler played his freshman season at Fostoria High School before his father, Keith, accepted a head coaching position at Upper Sandusky High School, which Jon attended for his remaining three seasons.

He scored 77 points in a 105-100 win over Tiffin Columbian as a junior. In his sophomore year, the Upper Sandusky Rams won the state championship, coached by his father. As a senior he averaged 41.2 points, 12.3 rebounds, and six assists per game. Diebler ended his high school career with 3,208 points, more than Ohio high school greats Jay Burson (2,958), Luke Kennard (2,652), LeBron James (2,646), Bob Huggins (2,438), Jerry Lucas (2,438), Jamar Butler (2,412) and Jim Jackson (2,328).

He won Mr. Basketball his senior year and lead his team on a trip to the state championship. Despite having his nose broken in three places on a layup attempt in the final quarter of the Division II Regional Championship game, he helped the team reach the state finals game while scoring 48 points in a three-point loss to Dayton Dunbar. It was the third-highest scoring effort ever in an OHSAA state championship game.
