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.
In 1927 Brush High School opened, 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.
