Plain Local finished construction of the new GlenOak Community Campus for the 2006–2007 school year, a high school with a public library situated within the building. Designed by architects Perkins+Will, it incorporates an 'academy' design. Seven academies are within the school, as following:
The Community Campus includes an incorporated public library, a video studio, a 900-seat theater with balcony, and a blackbox. It also sports two gymnasiums, the main gym and a smaller auxiliary gym, softball and baseball fields and a new multi-purpose stadium with Field Turf, named "Bob Commings Field". The stadium enhancements are being funded privately through community support. Design of permanent facilities within the stadium were completed in 2008 and an outdoor learning lab is being built near the main retention pond. An adjacent property was bought by Plain Township to be converted to a park, and walking trails from the park will wind through the campus. Also, Mercy Medical center has set up an urgent care facility within the GlenOak Campus. Additional partnerships are being considered, such as partnerships with colleges and universities.

The school's Gay Straight Alliance club was created in the 2011-2012 school year by two juniors, Ellenore Holbrook and David Seatter. It was the first Gay-Straight Alliance Created in the area, launching an increase in clubs around Canton, Ohio. The marching band performs at every football game and multiple band shows. After the football season, students audition for either concert band (class C) or Symphonic Winds (class A). Other optional instrumental ensembles include Jazz and Pep bands.
