History
In 1926, Warren G. Harding High School was opened, marking the city's first high school. The original mascot for the high school was the Panthers, the district wide mascot later became the Raiders, following the consolidation of Western Reserve and Warren G. Harding in 1990.
In 1966, due to rising population, Warren built Western Reserve High School on the city's south side. [2] the high school was closed in 1990 due to declining population in the 1980s, along with facing budget constraints, and consolidated with Warren G. Harding. It was used as a middle school until it was demolished in 2011. [3]
During the early 21st century, the Warren City School District underwent a redistricting process due to declining population, which saw the construction of the new Warren G. Harding High School, and the demolition of several early 20th century elementary and junior high schools. [4] In the fall of 2009 the school district reconstructed 3 former elementary buildings and one new building, Jefferson, McGuffey, Lincoln and Willard, all of which became the only four PK-8 buildings in the Warren City School District. a facade of the old Harding High School was kept from demolition and stands in front of the high school campus today. [5]
In 2024, Warren City Schools built and opened a new Student Recreation and Wellness center located at Warren G. Harding High School, which features fitness amenities such as an indoor track, locker rooms, an artificial turf field, weight room, etc., as well as study and lounge rooms along with space for robotics and E-Sports programs. It also has a health clinic which is operated by Akron Children's Pediatrics. [6] [7]
