History
[edit]Austintown Fitch High School opened in 1916 following the consolidation of several smaller one-room schools.

The original campus was located at 5680 Mahoning Avenue. Classes moved to the current high school campus in 1968, with the original campus later being used as a middle school until 2007. The original campus has since been demolished and turned into a Mejier in 2025.[4]
