The McComb Story
Early education: The first school in the village (originally known as Pleasantville) was built in a log structure in 1838.
The 1923 building: Present-day main school building was originally built in 1923.
Additions: Key expansions were added in 1976 and 1998.
Consolidation: Historically, the district used a building in nearby Hoytville for junior high students but consolidated it to a single K-12 location in 2013.
Athletic upgrades: A renovated football stadium, featuring new bleachers and a
press box, was completed in 2017.

What is the

?

OFCC manages Ohio’s school facility programs that provide support for construction and renovation of public K-12 schools.

OFCC:	by the numbers

McComb’s equity position: 344

54% local share / 46% state share

Assessment of existing facilities- renovation costs (2025):	$43.2M

McComb’s latest OFCC enrollment projection from December 2025 shows 617 students in 2030-2031

Based on facility assessments, OFCC funds are maximized by building a new K-12 facility instead of renovating and adding on to existing
