Watsontown High School

Watsontown High School stood near the bridge in Watsontown, where Lingles Grocery Store stands today.

Note - eventually I will get the history of the school added.  For now, this is a place to drop all of the various photos and information I have on the school, for easy reference.

From a single school building, known as the Old Academy, brought into the Borough from the Township upon the organization of the Borough education spread to the northern end of town and demanded what was for years the Oley School Building, situate on the west side of Ash Street, a short distance south of Eighth Street. This was followed successively by school being held on the first floor of the Baptist Church, and the second floor of the Methodist Church and in the old Lyceum Hall at the western end of Second Street. This was followed by the erection , in 1882, at a cost of $12,000, of the present building at the corner of Eighth and Elm Streets. The erection of this building, the grading of our schools and the adoption of a course which led to graduation was largely the work of the then efficient superintendent George W. Twitmyer, who graduated the first class ever graduated from a Watsontown School, in 1884, consisting of Joseph D. Lowry, Thomas K. Smith, Ida Caldwell, all living and all among you today. - Watsontown HIstoricaly by Fred Knight https://susquehannavalley.blogspot.com/2020/11/watsontown-historically-by-major-fred-h.html
