Harrison Central PK-12 Campus

The school was established in 1999 from the consolidation of Cadiz High School (Cardinals), Jewett-Scio High School (Vikings), and Freeport Lakeland High School (Raiders).



Campus

The Harrison Hills City School District opened its 216,000 square foot PK-12 facility in August 2019. The new centralized campus includes an elementary wing, middle school wing, high school wing, two gymnasiums, a 760-seat performing arts center, an artificial turf softball stadium, and an eight-lane track and field complex.[3] The school district still retains the recently updated Mazeroski Field (Baseball) and stadium, Wagner Field (football) and stadium, and John W. Stephenson Center at the former high school.

Following the 2018/2019 academic year, the School District closed and demolished several former buildings, including the former Cadiz H.S./Harrison Central H.S., Jewett-Scio H.S./Harrison Jr. H.S./Harrison North Elementary, and Hopedale Elementary buildings. According to a recent article, the district plans to sell the former Westgate Elementary School in Cadiz to Harrison County.[4]
