Meyers was both a junior and senior public high school, offering education to approximately 898 students in grades 7–12.

Located on 341 Carey Avenue, in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, Elmer L. Meyers Junior/Senior High School opened in 1930 and closed in 2021.

[4] By the early 21st century, the school was seen to be in disrepair from apparent neglect,[5][6][7] with safety structures erected in front of building façade[8] and repairs needed for the attached stadium.

[19] On March 5, 2018, the Board voted to purchase land in Plains, Pennsylvania for the merged high school.

[29] Amelia Earhart visited in spring of 1936 after the Meyers High School Women's Club brought her in to talk to students about "Adventures in Flying".

[29] More recently, the school had Travis Clark and Hunter Thomsen from We The Kings perform an acoustic set in October 2009.

After winning a contest from local radio station 97 BHT, the two members performed a free show in the auditorium.

[29] The exterior of Meyers is made of brick walls with terra cotta lintels and stone cornices, and a number of parapets—some of which were removed for safety in 2007.

[37][38] Additionally, it hosts Adam Iseman's BEST Awards, a popular STEM competition which has produced a working phone, arachnoid robot, and 3D printed Lazarus hand.

Founded in 1997, Meyers hosted the Martin Luther King Open Speech and Debate Tournament every January.
