Mexico High School, located in Oswego County, New York, is a Georgian Revival brick structure built in 1938 to replace an earlier school building destroyed by fire in 1937. The two-story edifice adopts a U-shaped plan and is notable for its formal classical entrance: a two-story, five-bay portico supported by six Ionic columns and crowned with a Chippendale patterned balustrade. A distinctive tower houses an 1828 bell salvaged from the previous building, connecting the structure to its institutional heritage. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991 as the Mexico Academy and Central School, the building continues to serve as part of the Mexico Central School District.
