History

Boardman High School, located in Boardman Township, developed alongside the township’s transition from a rural community into a suburban extension of Youngstown. Prior to the 20th century, students in the area were educated in small, one-room schoolhouses distributed throughout the township.

In 1904, Boardman Township residents approved the creation of a centralized high school, establishing a more formal and unified system of secondary education. The first high school building was constructed on Market Street and initially offered only limited secondary coursework. Over time, the curriculum expanded into a full four-year program, reflecting growing educational expectations and population increases in the region.

Following World War II, Boardman experienced significant suburban growth as families moved out of nearby industrial centers. [4] This population boom placed increasing strain on the original high school facility. By the 1960s, the need for a larger, modern campus led to the construction of a new high school building on Glenwood Avenue.

The current Boardman High School opened in 1969, [5] replacing the original Market Street building as the district’s primary secondary institution. The former high school was later repurposed for other educational uses within the district.

When the current high school was built, voters had previously rejected a bond to build an auditorium. Another bond was proposed in 1994, with that too being rejected by voters. Larry Saxton, Boardman's then superintendent in 1996, formed a team to study the benefits of an auditorium. He then made a proposal to the Boardman BOE, that would allow for the auditorium to be built, without costing the community additional taxes. In 1997, an action committee was formed, raising $1.5 million from private donations to build their performing arts center. Construction began in 1999 and was completed in August 2000. [6]

The school’s nickname, the Spartans, was adopted in the 1935 and remains a central part of its identity within the Ohio High School Athletic Association. [5]
