History
In 1867, electors in Canfield met to decide on adding a union school. Citizens approved the construction of the school and Canfields first Union School was built in 1869, with the first classes in 1870. The school costed $33,000 to construct. It was later demolished in 1953.[3][4] Population continued to grow in the late 19th century and early 20th century, leading voters to approve a levy in 1916 to build a new school with modern amenities. The construction of the high school was delayed until 1922 by federal restrictions during World War I.[5]
The current high school campus was built in 1966 at the cost of $1,425,000. The construction of the campus was made possible by a bond issue, which was approved in November 1964, with ground being broken on May 15, 1965. The 1922 campus was later used as a junior high school and elementary school.[3]
