==Education== ===Primary and secondary=== Three intermediate (3β5) buildings and three primary (Kβ2) buildings are within the city of Findlay.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://choose.findlaycityschools.org/|title=Choose Findlay City Schools|work=findlaycityschools.org}}</ref> For decades, students attended one of three junior high schools: Donnell (Atoms), Central (Spartans), or Glenwood (Eagles). The original Donnell School building located on Baldwin Avenue was razed in 2012 to make room for the construction of a new building, which began usage in January 2013. Another new school built directly behind the original Glenwood building on North Main Street officially opened and began usage in January 2013. The building known as Central, located on West Main Cross, was originally Findlay's high school (until the current high school was built in 1963). Once the two new middle schools were opened, part of Central was razed, leaving only the auditorium. A new Performing Arts Center (funded mainly by Marathon Petroleum) was constructed by refurbishing and renovating Central's auditorium, finishing in December 2015.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Kempf |first1=Jessica |title=A Look Inside the Marathon Center for the Performing Arts |url=http://findlayfamily.com/news/a-look-inside-the-marathon-center-for-the-performing-arts/ |website=Findlay Area Family |date=January 8, 2016 |publisher=Great Scott Community Markets |access-date=June 26, 2018 |ref=Performing Arts Center}}</ref> [[Findlay High School]] is a comprehensive high school with an enrollment of 1,632 students in grades 9β12.
