The building that currently serves as the Garfield Heights High School was built in 2001, and was completed and opened in January 2003.

At a cost of $30,125,000 and a total area of 224,164 sq ft (20,825.5 m2)., the building is capable of holding 1,400 students and staff.

Although the news reported a wrecking ball would be used, initial destruction was started by then-superintendent Ronald Victor, who destroyed a small wall of the building with an excavator, after which a construction worker took over.

Once the workers stopped, for about five minutes, teachers and students were allowed to run up and take a brick, then ordered to leave as a fence was put up around the school.
