The school's fight song, instrumentally, is the fight song from Washington State University.Ĭlearview High School was built in 1923, then named Highland, and including grades 4-8. The building consisted of six classrooms, two bathrooms, auditorium/gymnasium and an office. At this time, Clearview (Highland) was part of the Sheffield Lake School District. The Clearview Local School District was formed by a petition of the Lorain County Board of Education on April 9, 1928. In 1930 the name was changed to Clearview High School to reflect the new school district.
That year, the auditorium/gymnasium was remodeled and could seat 555 people.

The school doubled in size by adding home economics, manual training and mechanical drawing rooms. A year later, in 1931, the first graduating class of CHS with eleven graduates received their diplomas. The football field (Tom Hoch Field) was built in 1937. In 1940 shop classes and a garage were added. In 1957 a new gymnasium, junior high wing with nine classrooms, cafeteria, music/band room and offices were added. In 1961 the science wing was added and in 1968 a new library, arts and classrooms were added. On a major arson fire was set in the attic of the old 1923 section. The fire was contained to only the old section, thanks to the fire department and the fire doors which split the old section from the new sections. Damage was done to the auditorium, hallways, classrooms, and study hall, and the roof fell in. The newest and last addition was completed in 2004 thanks to the Ohio School Facilities Commission the school district received about $23 million. CHS received 10 million dollars to demolish, renovate and expand. The old sections built in 1923, 1927, 19 were demolished to make way for new classrooms. The rest of the school received a major renovation, and a new classroom wing was added behind the old junior high wing. A new auditorium, music and band rooms were built. The old study hall became the new weight room, and the old PPO office and hallway area formed a new practice room for the wrestling team. The school was made grades 9-12 only, and junior high was placed at the newly formed Durling Middle School. In 2008 the Frank and Anne Szalay Gymnasium replaced the bleachers with new ones that spell out "Clearview" on the home side and Clippers on the visitors' side. This was accomplished by fundraising efforts. Students with high GPAs are eligible to attend Lorain County Community College through the Post-Secondary Enrollment Options Program (PSEO). Juniors and seniors also may attend the Lorain County JVS in Oberlin.
