Meyers opened in the 1930 and has survived the flood of 1972. It is currently undergoing construction to fix the roof. As of June 2011, the WBASD(Wilkes-Barre Area School District) members are currently debating continued renovation of the school. A projected decrease in population was lauded when the school was first proposed to be closed, though the school has since seen a stable population of students who often do not require public busing. Options include: #1 Close down and demolish Elmer L Meyers Junior/Senior High School, and rebuild the high school at a price of 65 million dollars or #2 Repair Elmer L Meyers Junior/Senior High School at a price of 85 million dollars. If #1 was picked, the students of the school woul be displaced for 1 to 2 years. All 7th and 8th graders would be sent to G. A. R. Memorial Junior Senior High School along with 30% of the 9th-12th graders. The 70% of the 9th-12th graders left will be sent to James M Coughlin High School. The students would return in the 2012-2013 or the 2013-2014 school year.
