History
The first consolidated high school in East Liverpool was located on East 4th Street in Downtown. This building included a clock tower. The school operated as the main building from 1894 to 1914, and then as a campus school for underclassmen until 1968. After its closure, the building was demolished. Today, a replica clock tower and a small adjoining building have since been built on this site. The building houses the East Liverpool High School Alumni Association.
Built in 1914, the second high school building house upperclassmen from its completion until 1968, when the high school was moved to its current campus. The building was sold to Kent State University in 1968 for $1, and since has been home to Kent State University at East Liverpool. [4] The Memorial Auditorium, built in 1945, is now a YMCA.
In 2010, students from grades 7 and 8 were moved into the building from the former East Junior High School.
