[edit] History of KJHS

Kittanning Junior High School was established in 1910. It originally was for all grades K-12. The original name was Kittanning Central School. Later when West Hills Elementary School was created K-1 were sent to East Franklin Elementary School and 2-5 was sent to West Hills Elementary School. The Junior High was now Kittanning Area Middle School which was grades 6-8. Now 6th grade went to the new West Hills Education Park which included West Hills Primary School (K-3) and West Hills Intermediate School (4-6). In the 2006-2007 school year Kittanning Area Middle School was now again Kittanning Junior High School. The school caught on fire twice; fortunately it did not destroy the whole school. The part with the damage was rebuilt.

[edit] KJHS Today

Today KJHS has grades 7 and 8. This is the first school year (2006-2007) that it only has two grade levels.
