History

Medina High School was established in 1872 and was located in the Lincoln School, at the corner of South Broadway Street and East Smith Road. This building served as the high school until 1924, when a new building was built on North Broadway Street. This building served as the high school until 1956 and is now the Medina County Administration Building. A new building and campus opened that year at 420 East Union Street. This campus served as the home of Medina High School until the current campus, located at 777 East Union Street, opened in 1973 and since then has served as Claggett Middle School.

In 2004, a renovation and expansion project was completed which saw the additions of a new community recreation center and a performing arts center and doubled the building size to accommodate the larger enrollment numbers.[2]

The school has an extensive performing arts program, with multiple choirs and orchestras, as well as several concert band programs. The Medina Performing Arts Center seats a total of 1,125 people.[3]
