Clearview High School is a public high school located in Lorain, Ohio. It is part of the Clearview Local School District, one of five school districts serving the city of Lorain and all of Sheffield Township, Ohio. Clearview High School houses students in grades 9-12. Formerly, it was named Clearview Junior-Senior High School and housed students in grades 7-12. After a remodeling project across the district in the early 2000s, grades 7 and 8 moved to Durling Middle School, just northwest of the high school.
Of the five school districts that reside wholly or partially within the city of Lorain, Clearview High School serves the second largest population of Lorain students, with Lorain High School being the largest. The other local school districts are Amherst, Firelands, Vermilion and Eyria. At one time Lorain City Schools wanted the Clearview students that lived in the Lorain city part of the Clearview Local School District.
The school colors are royal blue and gold. The sports teams are known as the Clippers. The school's fight song is the fight song from Washington State University.
Clearview High School was built in 1923 named Highland. It was 4-8th grades. The building consisted of six classrooms, two bathrooms, auditorium/gymnasium and an office. At this time Clearview (Highland) was part of the Sheffield Lake School District. In 1927 an addition of six more classrooms were added.
The Clearview Local School District was formed by a petition of the Lorain County Board Of Education on April 9, 1928.
In 1930 the name was changed to Clearview High School to reflect the new school district. Also that year the auditorium/gymnasium was remodeled and could seat 555 people. The school doubled in size by adding home ec, manual training and mechanical drawing rooms. A year later in 1931, the first graduating class of CHS with eleven graduates received their diploma.
Our football field (Tom Hoch Field) was built in 1937. In 1940 shop classes and a garage was added. In 1957 a new gymnasium, junior high wing with nine classrooms, cafeteria, music/band room and offices were added. In 1961 our science wing was added and in 1968 a new library, arts and classrooms were added. On May 5, 1969 a major arson fire was set in the attic of the old 1923 section. The fire was contained to only the old section, thanks to the fire department and the fire doors which split the old section from the new sections. The damage included the auditorium, hallways, classrooms, study hall, and the roof fell in.
