STOP 6: 701 SUPERIOR STREET
Rossford High School
Across the street from Danny’s Café, you’ll see the Rossford High School campus at 701 Superior Street.
Take a look at the campus and you’ll notice something interesting.
It blends Rossford’s past with its future.
The original high school building dates to 1922 and was designed in the Collegiate Gothic style, with classic lines and strong stonework.
Just two years later, in 1924, the school’s first graduating class had only five students.
Today, generations later, Rossford High School still carries that same Bulldog pride, with its maroon and gray colors.
But long before there was a school here, this land was a working fruit farm.
It belonged to Elliott Warner, whose orchard produced hundreds of bushels of peaches, pears, apples and cherries, along with tons of grapes.
In 2020, the community made an important decision: keep the high school downtown on Superior Street.
The result is what you see today.
The original 1922 building was carefully renovated, including its historic auditorium with its dramatic proscenium arch and vaulted ceilings.
At the same time, new, state-of-the-art facilities were added.
One of the highlights is the Bulldog Concourse, a central walkway that connects the historic building with the newer spaces.
As you move through the concourse, you’ll see displays celebrating notable Rossford graduates and accomplishments.
It’s a reminder that a school is about more than a building.
It’s about the people who learn, grow, and create their own history here.
And in Rossford, there’s still plenty of growing to do.
Just a new kind of harvest.
