The growth continued and in September 2004 the school moved to a new campus, on State Road 122 on the east side of Middletown.

In 2015, the Boys' Football team went 13-1 with a loss to Columbus Bishop Hartley in the Division IV State Semifinals. Going 10-0 in the regular season, it was the second undefeated team in Fenwick history, and the first undefeated/untied team in school history. Coach Joe Snively was named AP Coach of the Year for Division IV in Ohio. On the way to their 13-1 season, Fenwick defeated rivals Alter and Badin during the regular season, as well as defeating both in the playoffs. With beating Alter in 2012 and twice in 2015, this was the first senior class to have a winning record against Alter since joining the GCL in 2006. Fenwick was also crowned AP State Champions after finishing the regular season ranked #1 in Division IV.
