North Olmsted High School is a public high school that is located in the Cleveland suburb of North Olmsted, Ohio. It is the only high school administered by the North Olmsted City School District.
NOHS had a small orchestra as far back as 1930, but Casey Kriechbaum started the instrumental program in 1948 and staged the first concert band and marching band in 1950. [7] [8] Alongside the band are the NOHS Eaglets, or cheerleaders. As of 2020 a drama club called the Eagle's Nest Theatre performs twice a year in fall and winter. Student participation in news and announcements is encouraged through the Eagle News Network. A computer club is also present, as is a team for the U.S. National Chemistry Olympiad, sponsored by the American Chemical Society. A math team competes in the Ohio Mathematics League Contests and the American Mathematics Competition. There is also a ski club, as well as French and Spanish clubs. [9]
The school also has a boys football, soccer, cross-country, basketball, golf, hockey, bowling, wrestling, swim, baseball, tennis, and track team. They have a girls soccer, volleyball, golf, tennis, basketball, bowling, swimming, dance, gymnastics, cheer, softball, and track team. [10]
On September 16, 1990, two juveniles broke into the school and vandalized it, leaving a burning cigarette near an overturned oil lamp, leading to a fire that caused over $3 million in damage to the building. [11] As a result of the fire, classes were temporarily relocated to the I-X Center, an exhibition center in nearby Cleveland. [12]
On October 13, 2020 a football player on the boys football team tested positive for COVID-19. The School District subsequently pulled out of the state playoffs, and canceled all remaining games and practices. [13] [14]
