m The Mecoonri ffi History of Homer High School Homer Township is located in the southwestern corner of Medina County. The first schools in the township were the rural one room type which served the youth of the earlier days. But as time came throughout Ohio for centralized schools, the one room school could not meet the demand of modern educational facilities. And in 1906 the community voted for and established a fully central- ized school at the center of the township, where one of its noted one room buildings had been located. Homer Township being the first in Medina County to operate a fully centralized school. The High School established at this time received from the State Department of Education a Second Grade High School Charter. It was not long however before increased enrollment and the conse- quent lack of room made it necessary to enlarge the building. In 1911 the front of the building was built, making more room for high school purposes and an auditorium for school and community activ- ities. By 1922 the building was again found inadequate to meet the growing demands of school and community. Therefore a new building was built by the side of the old one. The a uditorium and gymnasium are now lo- cated in the new addition. At the same time the old building was remod- eled, taking out the old auditorium and building in laboratories, farm- shops, domestic science and agricultural rooms. At present the High School operates under a First Grade Charter granted in 1914. To the regular high school course has been added the Smith-Hughes Agricultural Department, Domestic Science, Farm Shop, and County Music. The school has always been active in the high school activities of the County, taking an interest in the County Debates, Athletics, and Orator- ical contests.
