Building and history
[edit | edit source]The site that is now Jones Middle School previously served as Camp Willis, a military training camp during World War I. This is noted by a plaque near the Arlington Avenue side of the site.
The neo-classical school building was designed by Ohio Stadium architect Howard Dwight Smith and completed in 1924.[2][3] It served as the first permanent school in Upper Arlington, serving grades 1–6; grades 7-12 were added to the building following its 1926 expansion. The building was renamed Upper Arlington High School in 1939 with the opening of another Smith-designed school, Barrington Road Elementary School.
Jones Middle School became an International Baccalaureate World School in November 2012.[4]
