New Mooon Area High School Opens

New Moon Area High School

An abundance of windows and ceiling skylights brought sunlight into the new $76 million Moon Area High School for its first day of classes on Monday. The old high school, built in 1964, had few windows due to noise concerns, because it was close to what was then Greater Pittsburgh Airport.

Students and staff toured the building last week and arrived in the new building Monday armed with maps.  Everyone will have a chance to see the new building Feb. 19. A dedication will be held from 10 to 11 a.m. followed by an open house from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The new 297,000-square-foot high school is on University Boulevard, behind the old school and the football stadium. The old high school will be remodeled (windows will be added) and converted into a middle school, which is scheduled to be ready in fall 2012. The current middle school will be demolished.

  1. A bit excessive, education doesn't depend on wealth and towering expensive structures. Alot of staff are ignorant to their students and alot of STUDENTS are ignorant to everyone else. And Olweus is a joke. 0/10 bad school is bad.
