Mariemont High School is a public high school located in Mariemont, a suburb of Cincinnati, Ohio. It is the only high school in the Mariemont City School District. Mariemont High School is known for its high academic standards, and it has been named a Blue Ribbon School of Excellence four separate times: 1984-85, 1988–89, 2001–02, 2004-05. The school was the first to receive this award four times in the state of Ohio and the fourth nationwide. [5]

History

The school was originally housed in the building that now holds Mariemont Elementary School. In 1970, a new school was constructed, designed by architects Baxter, Hodell, Donnelly and Preston. [6] A large portion of the building featured an open, modular design with hexagonal "pods" with department offices in the center. The pods had no walls or clearly defined borders between classrooms, no hallways, and no windows in class areas. Each pod was described to be equivalent to six standard classrooms. [7] Students were relatively free to move about within the pods. Subjects requiring seclusion, such as music, were in more traditional classrooms. [8]

The open design was soon found to make it difficult for students, with one staff member estimating that 20% of students could not function in the open, self-directed environment. Within a few years, bookcases and partitions were used to break up the pods into classroom-like areas, but in many cases it was still possible to hear adjacent classes. [9] [10]

In the 2018 midterm elections, the district passed a levy to renovate half of the school and completely rebuild the other. [11]

In 2024, a student at the school informed authorities that another student was planning a school shooting at the school, with encouragement from an out-of-state adult. A fourteen-year-old suspect was arrested and prosecutors plan to try them as an adult for conspiracy to commit aggravated murder. [12] Congressman Greg Landsman invited the student who raised the alarm to be his guest at that State of the Union address that March. [13]
