History
Girard High School opened in 1861, originally housed in the Girard Union School. The original campus was used until 1925, when Girard opened a new high school on North Ward Avenue. The Union School campus was demolished in 1938.[3]
After 85 years of use, in May 2007, voters approved a $3.8 million levy, with the state of Ohio paying $26 million to replace the aging North Ward Avenue campus. Girard began construction on their new junior/senior high school campus in 2010, located at 1244 Shannon Road, a previously undeveloped 25-acre (10 ha) property, which was annexed by Girard from Liberty Township. The new 130,000-square-foot (12,000 m2) facility was opened beginning the 2010–11 school year. The campus features 47 classrooms, 4 computer laboratories, and athletic facilities including 2 gyms.[4] The former North Ward Avenue building was demolished in 2011.[3]
