Memorial High School is a public high school in St. Marys, Ohio. It is the only high school in the St. Marys City School District. Memorial High School was designated "Excellent" (the highest designation given) by the Ohio Department of Education in the 2007-2008 ODE report card.[4] The nickname of their athletic teams is the Roughriders. They are a member of the Western Buckeye League. Although the official name of the high school is Memorial, local media generally refers to the school's athletic teams as the St. Marys Roughriders.[5][citation needed] The school's colors are royal blue and gold.
The original school building, built in 1923, was located near Skip Baughman Stadium.[6] However, on November 7, 2007, St. Marys City School voters passed a bond issue for the construction of a new high school. The building, built for the 2010-2011 school year, is a 6th-grade through 12th-grade complex located near U.S. 33 and State Route 66.[6][7] The original school building was torn down shortly after its completion.
