Marshfield High School is a public high school in Coos Bay, Oregon, United States. Coos Bay is located on the southern coast of Oregon. The campus consists of four main buildings, including the Medium building which opened in 2000 that serves as a building of mathematics and science. It also has a gym that can hold 4,000. There is also a separate facility that serves as a Drama program. Marshfield High School began in 1908 after it was purchased from the International Order of Odd Fellows, which has a school cemetery built around. The construction of the first building which became known as the East Branch finished a year after purchase and was soon followed by a small gym with a swimming pool in 1915. In 1938, the small building became so crowded that a decision was made to make another building.. With the help of architect Francis Marion Stokes of Portland Oregon, the Main Building (1940) and West Gym (1939) were added to the campus. In 1952, another gym was installed in the center of the campus by claiming the name of Main Gym. The Main Building expanded to the North side in 1953, and the West side in 1962. The old East Branch became out dated with tall pillars and the roof was peaking compared to the Art Deco style of the rest of the campus, so it was renovated in 1958. Just before the turn of the century, the school decided to install another building on the North side. The old east branch grows old, but the city wants to keep it for sentimental value, until the ceiling of plaster falls to the table. After the Pirate Hall was completed in January 2000, the Eastern Branch was released from duty, and soon became a parking lot for students.
