Weisenborn Middle School
In the fall of 2012, all 7th and 8th graders in the district started attending this school. Formerly Clara E. Weisenborn Junior High School, the original Weisenborn building was constructed on an open classroom plan, with groups of two-to-four classrooms. There were no walls within these groups, but over time, teachers used cabinets, coat racks, portable chalkboards, and other furniture to isolate individual rooms. Eventually, walls and doors were built between classrooms, but because of the layout, many of the classrooms could be accessed only by walking through another classroom. The school was named for Clara E. Weisenborn, who was a member of the Ohio legislature for twenty-two years.
