History

The original Kenmore High School was constructed in 1916. Population in the Village of Kenmore grew rapidly, which resulted in an addition the next year. It was originally part of the Coventry Township District, but was annexed to the Akron Public Schools in 1929. The school housed elementary and high school students for many years. More additions were made to the school in 1952 and 1955. The oldest parts of the school were razed, and the current Kenmore High School was built in 1981.
Kenmore merged with Garfield High School for the 2017–18 school year due to declining enrollment and rising costs. While the new building is constructed at the Garfield site, the combined school will be known as Kenmore-Garfield. Kenmore-Garfield High School opened in the fall of 2017.
