Ellet students support endowment scholarships, which are awarded to Ellet graduating seniors. Students and staff support a landscape project, which beautifies the front entrance of the school. Teachers have an average of 18 years of experience, and 67% hold a master's degree or higher. History Constructed in 1950 Additions in 1957 and 1975 Annexed by the city of Akron in 1929 The bulk of the land in the Ellet District was purchased in 1810 from Simon Perkins by three sons of Samuel Ellet, an early settler who moved into the area that year. The Ellet District was annexed to the city of Akron in 1929 and became part of Akron Public Schools the same year. The present Ellet High School on Woolf Avenue opened in 1950. The school replaced the older Ellet High School on Canton Road which served both elementary and high school students. That facility is now known as Ritzman Elementary School.
