History of Seiberling CLC

 

Seiberling Elementary School was named in honor of Franklin Augustus Seiberling (1859-1955) and Charles Willard Seiberling (1861-1946), founders of Goodyear Tire and Rubber and Seiberling Rubber companies. Seiberling Elementary School was originally built on a 10-acre piece of land in Goodyear Heights that was donated by FA Seiberling in November 1919. He specified that the site be used for public purposes and plans for any school building be approved by him. In March 1921, the school board moved ahead with plans to construct a new school in Goodyear Heights and voted to name it "Seiberling School."

Seiberling Elementary was rebuilt as part of an $800 million project to renovate or rebuild all Akron Public Schools buildings. It opened its doors as Seiberling CLC in January 2014.
