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.

Alternative and Vocational Education

Brush caters to the learning needs of many types of students. There are curricula tailored to fit coursework for remedial, comprehensive, and Advanced Placement students in all subjects. New classes are added each year.

Brush is a part of the interscholastic Mayfield Excel Tech Program. Brush is home to Auto Mechanics, Business Academy, and Cosmetology. During their Junior and Senior year, students may attend vocational programs at other schools: Aurora, Beachwood, Euclid, Orange, Mayfield, Solon, and West Geauga.

Brush has an alternative school called Arc Tech Academy. Adjacent to the campus, Arc Tech is housed in a former church located at the corner of Daytona and Mayfield Roads.

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 John Carroll University in University Heights and Notre Dame College in South Euclid, and the hockey team uses the Cleveland Heights Recreation Center ice rink as their home rink.
