The Homer-Center High School serves grades 7-12, and is located just south of the district's elementary school on Wildcat Lane. Originally constructed in 1959, at a cost of $2.1 million, the building underwent its second complete renovation from 2008-10.[2]
One of the facilities in the high school complex is the Homerdome, which is the school gymnasium. Constructed in 1959, the most notable feature is the seven lofty arches, each constructed out of 90 tons of concrete and steel, supporting the barrel-vault roof which is 40 feet tall at its highest point. The second most notable feature of the Homerdome is the large fiberglass/aluminum window, rehabilitated in 1985, this window has over 600 sections, making it 50 feet wide and 20 feet tall at its highest point. The only items remaining in the Homerdome since the 2008-10 renovation is two murals donated by the class of 2001 and the LED scoreboards, at this point, the floors were stripped to the bare concrete and replaced.
Homer-Center is a member of the 10-school Heritage Conference which resides within the PIAA-District VI.:
