Rossford High School is a public high school in Rossford, Ohio, United States. It is the only high school in the Rossford Exempted Village School District. The district mainly serves the city of Rossford and also includes parts of the city of Northwood, Perrysburg Township, and Lake Township within Wood County.
History
[edit]The current high school was built in 1922 with its first class graduating in 1924.[2] The George G. Wolfe Field House opened in 1950 to be used for indoor athletic events.[3] In 1957 and 1958 respectively, Rossford absorbed the students that attended the Glenwood Elementary and Lime City Elementary school districts as a means of eliminating such jurisdictions across Ohio.[4] The final addition to the high school was built in 1981.[5]
Starting with the 2018–19 school year, Rossford students will temporarily be housed at Owens Community College while the high school and middle school complex is upgraded, which is expected to be finished by early 2020.[6][7] The refurbished building will include technological improvements, areas for grades 6–8 and 9–12, and new gymnasiums for both high school and middle school use. It will also retain the original structure from 1922.[8]
