The first school in the area was conducted by the Friends Meeting in 1702. The first pub-lic school was in a house built by John Tyson in 1822. The school was on one side of his home on Susquehanna Road north of Bradfield Road. It became known as the Valley School, and was

abandoned in 1858 when the Plank Road School was built at Easton and Edgehill roads. Free public schooling was estab-

es in programs and buildings will be needed. The cost of new construc-tion, renovations to existing build-ings, and technology upgrades is es-timated at $101.5 million. In March 2017, the school board arranged for a $90 million bond issue towards this work. Stephen A. Schwarzman ’65, chairman, chief executive officer, and cofounder of Blackstone Group, a private equity firm, will donate $25 million to support the transformation of the high school.

Schwarzman said, “I owe a great debt of gratitude to Abington High School and passionately believe that the next generation of students are entitled to an education that pro-vides the tools needed to prepare them for future success.”

By the time you read this, construction on a new wing, an addition to the gymnasium, and other modifications will be underway. We hope to have some graphics and site maps on the alumni web site and on display at the annual Fifty Plus luncheon. See you there!

From the president: Updating the high school

A brief history of Abington’s schools

John Worthington ’60

For those of you still living in the Abington area, much of what I am about to report is old news, but for the many Abington alumni spread across the country, many changes are underway for the Abington School District and Abington High School.

In April 2014, a superintendent’s committee was formed to study alternatives to accommodate increases in student en-rollment. For the past 3 years, committees have met and re-ports have been rendered to the Board of School Directors. In March 2015, the superintendent’s committee recommended to the board that it should reconfigure the present grade level or-ganization to K-5, 6-8, and 9-12. Abington Junior High would become a middle school, housing grades 6 through 8, and the high school would house students in grades 9 through 12.

The vision statement gives us an image of what is in store: “Abington High School will be a 21st-century, state-of- the-art, innovative learning environment. Promoting student ex-cellence, achievement, and academic exploration will ensure our students are prepared for the nation’s fastest growing in-dustries and motivate the next generation of global leaders for the challenges of the future.”

To meet such lofty goals, a number of upgrades and chang-

Abington Township schools have a long and rich history. Four documents detail much of this background. One was written by Helen Shaffer, who began writing about the Abington community in 1937, and later published A Tour of Old Abington in 1960. Her son Howard (Howdy) Shaffer’33 was a driving force in building a strong Alumni Association and developing the Ghost Stories. The township issued a booklet, 50th Anniversary—Township of Abington, in 1956. The Abington Historical Society published Local Abington History in 1976 and the Old York Road Historical Society published Images of Continued on page 6

HistoryContinued from page 1

lished in Pennsylvania in 1834.In the middle 1800s, Abington

Township’s first public school was at West Avenue and Cedar Street in Jen-kintown, which was not yet a borough. In 1888, Abington had five schools at the pre-high school level:• Plank Road School• Saw Mill School near Huntingdon Pike and Cedar Road, which replaced an old eight-square school built in 1834 and demolished in 1873. The old eight-square (octagonal) school enrolled 60 students. • Weldon School in Jenkintown between Easton Road and Abington Avenue.• Hard Corner School• Edgehill School at Edgehill and York roads.

Rockledge’s school opened in 1889 on Huntingdon Pike and Robbins Av-enue. After a fire in 1902, it was rebuilt on the same grounds. This school closed in 1977 and is now the Rockledge mu-nicipal building. Interestingly, this was the only school without a playground. Physical education teachers had to walk students across Huntingdon Pike and down Church Road to an open space for outdoor classes.

From 1896 to 1931, nine elementary schools were built:• North Hills Elementary, built in 1896, was at Central and Pine avenues. The school’s original name was the Remlu School, a reversed spelling of the name of the man who developed the area, a Mr. Ulmer. From 1908 to 1914, it was called the Edgehill School, then North Glenside, and finally North Hills in 1928. The school closed in 1981.• McKinley was built in 1897-98 on Cadwalader Avenue and was the only public school designed by noted archi-tect Horace Trumbauer. A new McKin-ley School was built in 1968 on Cedar Road.• Park School on Park Avenue in Crest-mont was built in 1901 and closed in 1966.• Hamilton School was built in 1954 and closed in 1984.• Glenside-Weldon Elementary and Ju-nior High were built in 1906-07, both closing in 2001.• Highland (1923) and Overlook (1926) were both rebuilt in 2005.• Roslyn, built in 1926, was rebuilt in 2007.• Cedar Road (1930) closed in 1980.• Ardsley was established in 1931, closed in 1978, and is now the Ardsley Community Education Center at Spear and Cricket avenues.

Other elementary schools were Ry-dal (1959), Willow Hill (1965), and Copper Beach (2001). Rydalbrook was built in 1979 on Meetinghouse Road and became Rydal West in 1994.

Abington High School was built in 1887-88 as a two-year high school; the small building still stands on Susque-hanna Road opposite the Abington YMCA and is marked with a plaque identifying it as the original “Abington School House.” The first commence-ment took place in 1888 with two grad-uates, Annie Tomlinson and Jenne Mc-Mahan. Additions to the original high school were made in 1908-09 and the larger high school served until 1956, when the present high school opened. The former high school then served as Huntingdon Junior High School un-til 1983, and was demolished in 1996. The old Abington Junior High on High-land Avenue was built in 1909, closed in 1983, and is now the administration building.

North Campus, for grades 9 and 10, opened in 1964 adjacent to the high school (which was then known as South Campus). The North Campus building now is Abington Junior High School, and houses grades 7 through 9.

Abingtonians can certainly be proud of our highly ranked schools and quality education throughout the years.
