The much needed new high school building was designed as a semi-integrated extension of the existing recreational facilities with the intent of creating a more pleasant school envioronment than usually obtains. A developing need for expanded educational and recreational programs for adults as well as children is recognized. As a result this major capital investment by the community invites increased use during normally idle periods; and the taxpayers dollar produces additional dividends of culture and health within the community.
The Port Allegany High School was built where the separate wings for Senior and Junior High students relate to joint use facilities such as the shops, cafeteria, library, and auditorium. The gym is placed next to the pool for summer use of locker rooms. Noisy activities face away from the study places and there is public access to any major facilities without having to enter classrooms.
The High School was built in 1954 and was given additions in 1962. In 1954, the construction costs (contracts) was $907,994 with a student capacity of 638 students. The area was 70,960 square feet. Then, in 1962, 16,600 square feet more was added on, giving the high school a final student capacity of 839 students. The final cost was $l,421,917.
