Downtown High School is a public high school and vocational school located in the downtown area of Columbus, Ohio. It is a part of Columbus City Schools. It was built, along with the Fort Hayes Career Center, to consolidate three closing career centers (Northeast Career Center, Northwest Career Center, & Southeast Career Center) in the Columbus City Schools district. While a career center, it also functions as a high school with a capacity of 800 students.

Construction on the school was completed in December of 2008. The first classes were held on January 5, 2009 with 200 students.

Goal

Our goal is to prepare eleventh and twelfth grade students for careers in Business, Engineering, Information Technology, and Personal Services using state-of-the-art technology.
