After several failed town meeting votes, the Shaker Regional District Board requested a simple but high quality building design that would provide state of the art facilities for their 450 high school students. With a proposed budget of just over six million dollars for a new high school, the bond passed easily at the 1997 school district meeting, and design and construction proceeded quickly.

The building is constructed of durable concrete block interior and exterior walls, with a red brick and metal paneling system exterior veneer. Sitework includes two soccer fields, two baseball fields, a rubberized track, and over two hundred sixty parking spaces for staff and students, situated on a beautiful thirty-seven acre fielded site.
