Our History
Education began in Port Clinton, Ohio with one teacher, Mr. John Sylvester, teaching in local homes until 1838, the year the first schoolhouse was built. The schoolhouse was erected only 10 years after the City of Port Clinton was founded. Since that time many educators and boards of education have been committed to the education of the youth of this community. The first graduate of Port Clinton High School graduated in 1885, since that time thousands have followed in her footsteps. Many alumni of Port Clinton City Schools continue to make an impact all over the world and within our own community.
