About Middle School East

Gahanna Middle School East was completed in 1975 when the Gahanna Schools changed to a middle school concept. It was originally built as an "open classroom" building with large open spaces and a limited number of walls separating the classes.

Currently, moveable walls that allow for flexibility in instruction and variation in the grouping of students separate many of the classrooms. In 2000, the building underwent a major renovation with expanded music areas, additional classrooms, office space, and a new gymnasium.

Set to be completed in 2023, Middle School East is undergoing an addition and renovation project which will increase the square footage of the building by 25,000 square feet, allowing for an additional 175 students. As part of the project, the building will receive 10 new classroom spaces, flexible small group spaces, expanded cafeteria seating, enhanced related arts classrooms and increased special education spaces.
