| Title | Oviatt Street #77 - Hudson High School |
| Description | The first school in Hudson (and Summit County) was founded in 1801. In 1870, a two-year high school program was housed in the now demolished Union School building (located at 34 Oviatt St.) The first graduation exercises took place in 1886. The high school got its own building in 1928 with the completion of this Neo-Classical Revival structure. The new high school (on Hudson-Aurora Rd.) was dedicated in 1992. This building is now used as a middle school. |
