Title: Frank B. Willis High School, Delaware, Ohio (Delaware County)
Description: "Frank B.Willis School opened its doors in 1883 as Delaware High School. In 1928, it was named Frank B. Willis High School in honor of the Ohio Senator and Delaware county resident. The building survived two fires and has undergone numerous additions and renovations. After opening Rutherford B. Hayes High School in 1962, Willis became a Junior High School serving students in grades seven, eight, and nine.  In 1970, the District reconfigured its schools so that all the sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students attended Willis. In 2000, the John C. Dempsey Middle School opened. During that year, Willis began serving the District's fifth and sixth grade students. Due to overcrowding and larger class sizes the district again reconfigured grade levels to return to a traditional K-5 elementary structure and 6th grade students joined their middle school peers at Dempsey. In 2016, Willis became the Willis Educational Center and houses administrative offices and select student programming. The building remains available for community and school use." --
