Connellsville Area High School is a public high school, located in Connellsville, Pennsylvania. It is operated by the Connellsville Area School District. The school has a census of approximately 1325 of students in grades 10-12.

School history

Connellsville Area SD was created in 1966, merging the Connellsville Joint and Dunbar Township School Districts. Students then utilized the current Junior High East Building until the present building was completed for the beginning of the 1970-71 school year.

School Facilities

The present school building is 222,000 square feet (20,600 m2) in size and has a 1400-seat auditorium, a Gynasium of a 1500-person capacity, a 2-story library complete with computer lab, a full size cafeteria and a 6-Lane Natatorium. Outside the school are the district's baseball fields, softball fields, and tennis courts. In 2011, a $41 Million Dollar addition/renovation project took place within several phases. Phases 1 and 2 included renovating and moving the current library, replacing the entire physical plant, which one of two boilers from the original building were out of service, construction of school administrative offices as well as band classrooms, all of which were completed in the spring of 2012.[1] The next phase included demolition and reconstruction of general classsrooms, which students at the time were displaced during this phase.[1] During the summer recess of 2012, the dietary department was renovated into a food-court type setting, giving students more food choices. On September 4, 2012,[2] with the closing of Junior High West, the district's ninth-graders began attending the Senior High, making it a Grade 9-12 facility. Also completed at this time was a new science addition as well as technological capabilities, including surround sound within the classrooms. In December 2012,[3] in cooperation with the schools Patriots' Organizaion, a 4-ton piece of steel from the World Trade Center in New York from the September 11, 2001 attacks, was placed in the school's auditorium lobby. Final renovations[4] to the school were completed in time for the 2013-14 school year, which consisted of renovations to the main gym, pool, locker rooms, technology education classrooms and final site improvements.
