Streetsboro High School is a public high school in Streetsboro, Ohio. It is the only high school in the Streetsboro City School District. Their nickname is the Rockets. Streetsboro High School is the home of high school radio station WSTB, popularly known as 88.9 The Alter-Nation.[1]
On June 1, 2010, the building suffered a fire that started in the gymnasium. Because of heavy smoke and water damage, the district was forced to shut down the school for the remainder of the school year.[2] Damage was estimated to be over $2 million.[3]
History
Streetsboro High School was established in 1902 when the Streetsboro Township schools consolidated to a central building from one-room schoolhouses. The Streetsboro Township School would house the high school and all grades in Streetsboro until 1950, when it was replaced by a new school, later called Wise Elementary School. Wise was adjacent to the original building and was planned to house all 12 grade levels. At that time, however, the Ohio Department of Education revoked the high school charter, so high school students were sent to Aurora High School while others attended Theodore Roosevelt High School in Kent. This arrangement continued until 1962, when the school was re-established at the opening of the current Streetsboro High School building on Annalane Drive. The class of 1964 was the first class to graduate from Streetsboro since 1950, while the class of 1965 was the first to have attended all years of schooling in Streetsboro since the class of 1950.[4][5]
Since opening in 1962, the high school has had several additions, both to the building and to the adjacent campus. In the late 1960s, Campus Elementary School and Streetsboro Middle School were built on the campus, with Henry Defer Intermediate School opening in 2004. The most recent additions to the building included a new science wing in the early 2000s, followed by eight modular classrooms later that decade.[6]
A new Streetsboro High School is under construction at a site along Ohio State Route 14 and will include athletic fields and new stadium complex. The 117,570 square feet (10,923 m2) building is scheduled to be complete at the end of 2016. The new building will also include an 800-seat auditorium, 800-seat gymnasium, outdoor courtyard, radio studio, and a TV studio, and will be a sustainably designed (LEED Silver) building. After the new school is built, the current high school will be renovated to house the middle school students in grades 6–8.
