Clyde High School had renovations done with funding from the Ohio School Facilities Commission (OSFC) and local voters that was completed for the 2010 school year. Upgrades to the building included an auxiliary gymnasium, additional administrative office space, whole-building air conditioning, a larger cafeteria, and at long last a true main entrance to the school. This renovation is done on the heels of an auditorium being added to the school in 2005. The auditorium seats over 800--enough for the entire student body--and the new wing features new rehearsal and practice space for all CHS musical ensembles, as well as performance space for all performances in the district. The space was funded by private donation pledges and a voter levy. It replaces the auditorium that stood at the old McPherson Middle School, which was constructed in 1912. Prior to that, a new wing was added to the building in the late 1990s, including updated science labs, a new media center, and several additional classrooms and lockers. This addition was funded with a voter levy.
