When Montandon Had A High School

1906-1978 

This two story brick structure was built in Montandon in 1906

A blurb in the Miltonian in 1909 stated: 1906 - New $10,000 High School Building at Montandon dedicated .    [Note that in 1869, they were raising $15,000 to build a new school - this new  High School would cost less?]

According to the genealogical and biographical record of Northumberland County by Floyd, Benjamin F. Bower hauled the first load of stone for the Montandon High School.
