Geneva High School is a four-year comprehensive school and an institute of secondary education located in Geneva, Ohio, USA. It is a member of the Geneva Area City School District and is the largest school within the system.

History

Two high schools were built in Geneva in 1924: Geneva High School and East Geneva Rural School. Both schools served students in grades seven through eight. In 1937, East Geneva Rural School changed its name to Platt R. Spencer School, in honor of Platt Rogers Spencer, the originator of Spencerian penmanship.

In 1957, a brand-new high school was opened and Geneva High School became Geneva Junior High School. The new school was named Geneva High School. Then, in 1970, an addition was made onto the new high school, allowing the building to serve students in grades seven through twelve. Because of this, Geneva Junior High School was renamed Geneva Elementary School to serve students in grades kindergarten through six, and Spencer School became an elementary school, also to serve students in grades kindergarten through six. The high school was renamed to Geneva Junior High School and began serving students in grades seven and eight, and the new addition was named Geneva High School and began serving students in grades nine through twelve.

In 2006, another new high school was constructed, and students from the old Geneva High School in grades nine through twelve were moved into the new building for the second semester of the 2005-2006 school year. The new high school apparently experiences large leakage from the roofs when it rains. Geneva Junior High remained, though the old high school remains vacant. The board of education has been considering converting the old high school into a middle school for grades six through eight, although there is no indication of when this will take place, if ever.

Mission statement

"The mission of Geneva High School is to nurture social skills, academic excellence and values enabling students to become responsible, compassionate citizens with lifelong understandings of the arts, sciences and humanities."
