History

The Edward Lee McClain High School, 1922 High-school buildings and grounds (1922) (14782975315).jpg
The Edward Lee McClain High School, 1922

The school was a gift to the community in 1912 from the inventor and local industrialist Edward Lee McClain. Construction on the school started in 1914, with the first classes held beginning in 1916. The building was designed by architect William B. Ittner. The McClain family later donated a vocational building, natatorium, and athletic fields adjoining the high school in 1923, at the same time that the community began construction of a new elementary building.

The school was almost torn down due to the high cost of remodeling and lack of finances. A large-scale community and historical effort led to the high school being saved. It is listed as an Ohio Historical Society landmark. [4]
