History

The first consolidated high school in East Liverpool was located on East 4th Street in Downtown. This building included a clock tower. The school operated as the main building from 1894 to 1914, and then as a campus school for underclassmen until 1968. After its closure, the building was demolished. Today, a replica clock tower and a small adjoining building have since been built on this site. The building houses the East Liverpool High School Alumni Association.

Built in 1914, the second high school building house upperclassmen from its completion until 1968, when the high school was moved to its current campus. The building was sold to Kent State University in 1968 for $1 and since has been home to Kent State University at East Liverpool.[4] The Memorial Auditorium, built in 1945, is now a YMCA.

In 2010, students from grades 7 and 8 were moved into the building from East Liverpool Middle School (now Westgate Middle School).

Campus

East Liverpool High School is located on a hill off of the city's Maine Boulevard via the school's driveway, dubbed "Potter Pride Drive".

ELHS consists of three buildings. The main building houses most of the classes, the office, and cafeteria. At the other end of the parking lot is the vocational building, where some of the career tech classes are located. Adjacent to the main building and also across from the vocational building is the Potter Fieldhouse. Here, the school's gymnasium, auditorium, and band room are located, as well as a few classrooms. Additionally, North Elementary School is located past the fieldhouse on campus.
