School history

In 1912, prior to the construction of Brush High School, students attended South Euclid School House at the corner of Mayfield & Green Roads. The first class graduated in 1916. Brush High School opened in 1927, providing students in South Euclid and Lyndhurst with a centralized high school.

In 1961, Korb Field became the brightest nighttime football field in the country as General Electric engineers from Nela Park installed experimental mercury floodlights. In 1962 the B wing and John C. Welser Gymnasium were added, giving the school a new library and gym. In 1974 the C wing, which houses mostly the art and business departments, and the D wing, housing a new cafeteria and the science and math departments were added. In 2002 artificial turf was installed in Korb Field. 2008 – Former First Lady and 2008 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton visited Brush High School for a February 15 rally.

Sports

The Brush campus is home to eight tennis courts, a turfed multipurpose athletic field for football and soccer, a track, and a softball field. The Arcs baseball team uses the facilities at Greenview Upper Elementary School, the swim team uses the pools at Euclid High School, and the hockey team uses the Cleveland Heights Recreation Center ice rink as their home rink.
