Innovative new buildings

In 2010, the District's buildings were consolidated within a single campus, with the physical education facilities separating the age groups. Three elementary Schools—Becker, Clovernook and Goodman—were replaced by North College Hill Elementary School, which houses all District students in preschool through grade four. A new middle school-high school building was also completed in 2010, with the High School preserving the clock tower from the former building that was dedicated in 1938. The former Goodman Elementary School building—erected in 1922—became the District Office, and the former Clovernook Elementary School building was repurposed as the North College Hill City Center.
