History of Forest Hill CLC

 
Forest Hill School was originally part of Portage Township Schools when it was constructed in 1914. The school took its name from the woods in which it was located. The original buff-colored brick structure contained four rooms. In 1916, Forest Hill became part of Akron Public Schools. Additions were completed in 1926, 1964 and 1993. The groundbreaking for the new building took place on February 9, 2007. The dedication ceremony was on August 26, 2008; classes started in the new building on August 27.
