History

The New Boston School District consisted of three schools until recently. The buildings constructed in the early 1900s included Stanton Elementary, Oak Street Intermediate, and Glenwood Junior-Senior High School. Glenwood housed grades 7-12, yet it was once the only school in the district and housed all grades.

In 2008, voters of New Boston approved a 7.61 mil levy to build a new $20 million Pre-K through 12 school building on #1 Glenwood Tiger Trail, which used to be Lakeview Avenue. The former Sun and Funland Pool once sat on the same location. The school purchased the land from the pool for $34,000. The local share of the $20 million school was only $3 million, and the rest is provided by the Ohio School Facilities Commission. [2]

The school broke ground in February 2010 and opened in time for the 2012 school year. This is the first new school building built for New Boston since 1906.
