The original school building, built in 1923, was located near Skip Baughman Stadium.^[6] However, on November 7, 2007, St. Marys City School voters passed a bond issue for the construction of a new high school. The building, built for the 2010-2011 school year, is a 6th-grade through 12th-grade complex located near U.S. 33 and State Route 66.^[6][7] The original school building was torn down shortly after its completion.
