History
Streetsboro High School was established in 1902 when the Streetsboro Township schools consolidated to a central building from one-room schoolhouses. The Streetsboro Township School would house the high school and all grades in Streetsboro until 1950, when it was replaced by a new school, later called Wise Elementary School. Wise was adjacent to the original building and was planned to house all 12 grade levels. At that time, however, the Ohio Department of Education revoked the high school charter, so high school students were initially sent to Aurora High School in neighboring Aurora, before eventually being sent to Davey Junior High School and Theodore Roosevelt High School in Kent. This arrangement continued until 1962, when the school was re-established at the opening of the current Streetsboro High School building on Annalane Drive. The class of 1964 was the first class to graduate from Streetsboro since 1950, while the class of 1965 was the first to have attended all years of schooling in Streetsboro since the class of 1950.[2][3]
Since opening in 1962, the high school has had several additions, both to the building and to the adjacent campus. In the late 1960s, Campus Elementary School and Streetsboro Middle School were built on the campus, with Henry Defer Intermediate School opening in 2004. The most recent additions to the building included a new science wing in the early 2000s, followed by eight modular classrooms later that decade.[4] A fire in June 2010 caused approximately $2 million in water, smoke, and structural damage, mainly to the gymnasium. The fire forced the district to shut down the school for the remainder of the school year.[5][6] Because repairs to the gymnasium were not completed until early March 2011, the boys basketball team played home games that season at the old Ravenna High School in nearby Ravenna, which had recently been vacated.[7][8]
A new high school building is under construction at a site along Ohio State Route 14, approved by voters in November 2013 as part of a bond issue that included additions and updates to other district buildings.[9] The 117,570 square feet (10,923 m2) building is scheduled to be complete at the end of 2016 with plans to be sustainably designed with the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver certification. Included in the new building is an 800-seat auditorium, 800-seat gymnasium, outdoor courtyard, radio studio, and a TV studio, along with athletic fields and new stadium complex. After the new school opens, plans are for the current high school building to be renovated to house middle school students in grades 6–8.[10]
