History

Newbury High School, built in 1928 and served students grades 9-12.

in 2017, talks first began regarding a merger with West Geauga School District. After months of talking, Newbury voted against the idea at that time. ^[2]

in 2019, Newbury's Board of Education decided to cease operations of the Newbury School District, citing declining enrollment and financial issues. At the conclusion of the 2019–20 academic year, the school executed a territory transfer into the West Geauga School District. Newbury had considered merging with Berkshire and Cardinal and also splitting their district between West Geauga and Berkshire. ^[3]

In 2022, the high school was demolished, despite efforts to acquire it back from West Geauga School District ^[4]
