[edit] New buildings for district
In the November 2007 election, residents of North College Hill School District voted in favor of a bond issue to allow the district to build three new school buildings—elementary, middle school and high school.[6]
In 2010, three elementary Schools—Becker, Clovernook and Goodman—were replaced by North College Hill Elementary School, which houses all district students in preschool through grade four.[7] New middle school and high school buildings were also completed in 2010, with the High School preserving the clock tower from the former building that was dedicated in 1938. The former Goodman Elementary School building—erected in 1922—is now the District Office, as well as home to the Passages art gallery and the North College Hill Historical Society. The former Clovernook Elementary School building has been repurposed as the North College Hill City Center.
