Lehman High School was a public high school in the Canton City School District. It was named for John House Lehman, "in honor of his extensive, untiring, and unselfish efforts for the public school system."[2]
History
Lehman was built on the site of the original North High School in 1920 and served as a junior high until 1932, when it started to add grades above 9th grade. From 1920 to 1937 Lehman was a feeder school to Canton McKinley High School . The first class graduated in 1938.[2]
The Lehman Polar Bears were members of the Hall of Fame Conference for football.[3]
Due to low enrollment, Lehman and Lincoln High School were closed as traditional high schools at the end of the 1975-76 school year and became junior highs. A new Lehman Middle School was opened in 2004 on 13th St. and Broad Ave. NW, leaving the original building empty for the most part.[2] It was used on a temporary basis houseing students while several elementary schools in Canton were razed and rebuilt.
