Honesdale High School is a public, four-year, regional high school serving grades 9-12 in Honesdale, Wayne County, Pennsylvania, United States, as a part of the Wayne Highlands School District.
In 1813 the Honesdale Academy which was a private preparatory school and the forerunner of the Honesdale High School, was founded. In 1875 the first class was graduated from a public high school in Honesdale. Honesdale’s first modern building constructed for school purposes was opened in 1909. In 1924, the consolidation of six political subdivisions formed the first union school district in Pennsylvania. On April 6, 1959 the present high school building was constructed. In 1970, under the School District Reorganization Act, the district was again expanded. The new name became the Wayne Highlands School District.
As of the 2007-08 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,072 students and 63.0 classroom teachers, for a student-teacher ration of 17.0.[1]
Honesdale High School is an accredited member of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools since 1940.[2] The school is also accredited by the Pennsylvania Department of Education.
