History
Columbus Grove High School opened in 1909,[4] with the consolidation of early Columbus Grove and Pleasant Township area schools.
Columbus Grove opened its first gymnasium in 1933, replacing earlier athletic facilities in Columbus's city facilities. Additional expansions and improvements occurred throughout the 20th century. Another gymnasium was built for the new school in the late 1950s, with Columbus Grove playing their first home game on January 31, 1958.[5]
Columbus Grove constructed a new school in 2012 consolidating the school district into one PK–12 building. The new facility featured updated classrooms, technology and athletic spaces, such as another new gymnasium.[5][6] The overall project costed roughly $9.3 million, with the projected being finished just $1.75 million under budget.[7]
