In 2004, major renovations and additions were completed, doubling the school's capacity and adding both a new community recreation center and a performing-arts center. Prior to 1973, Medina High School existed within the buildings that are now Garfield Elementary School, the Medina County Administration Building, and Claggett Middle School. Neighborhoods The facility underwent major renovations and additions which concluded in the fall of 2003. After the completion of the renovations, the "house" concept was introduced. The school was originally divided into four "houses", each with its own principal. Students stayed within their "house" for as many core classes as possible, but were permitted to take classes outside of their "house" as well. In the 2009-2010 school year, the neighborhood concept was presented. The four "houses" were combined into two "neighborhoods" with its own core academic area, principal, faculty, and guidance counselors. Students with the letters A-K in their last name are in "House White". Students with letters L-Z starting their last name are in "House Green". A centralized food preparation area and two cafeteria/serving areas support the houses. In partnership with the City of Medina, the Medina Community Recreation Center and Performing Arts Center are directly attached to the high school building and are available for community use.
