School is starting up again in Medina in just a few short weeks. Now is a good time for a look back at some of the old school buildings of Medina County...
These post cards were given to the Medina Library by Jean Cooper, a long-time teacher in the Medina City Schools.

The Lincoln High School, built in 1872. It used to sit where Broadway and Smith Roads meet in Medina.
The building was torn down circa 1950 to make way for an expansion of the Garfield school. |
 |
This post card is also identified as the High School, but the door and windows do not match.
This is most likely the Disciple Church. Perhaps it is the High School in the background? |
 |
| The first "primary" school in Medina City. It stood where the County Administration Building now stands. |
 |
| The Garfield School was built in 1912. . It is now an elementary school. The old High School Building can be seen in the background. |
 |
Built in 1924 to replace the old high school, this building now serves as the Medina County Administration Building.
|
Once the new high school was built in 1924, the old Lincoln High School then housed the primary grades and the Garfield School held the "upper grades" perhaps what we would call the middle school grades?
 |
| Another view of the school that is now the Administration Building. |
The next new high school built for Medina students was the current Claggett Middle School Building. It opened in 1956.
 |
| Now Claggett Middle School, this building opened in 1956 as the new Medina High School. |
 |
| An early Wadsworth High School |
Hopefully you have enjoyed this tour of old Medina school buildings.
