Chartiers Valley High School

Swallow Hill Road (1960 - 1973)

The Chartiers Valley High School began as the Chartiers Valley Senior High School on Swallow Hill Road, which still stands today as the Chartiers Valley Intermediate School. This would be the first building the newly formed jointure district would construct.

Thoms Run Road (1973 - 2019)

Quickly outgrowing the on Swallow Hill Road in the late 60s, the Chartiers Valley School District would commission their first post-consolidation school building to be constructed. Found atop a hill on Thoms Run Road, the new Chartiers Valley High School campus would be constructed. Costing $13,878,645 in 1972 and $104,435,143 in 2024, the new campus was comprised of two large circular buildings to house academics, an industrial arts building (for shop, welding, etc.), a standalone gymnasium building with olympic sized pool, and an auditorium / performing arts building. All together the building space of 394,626 square feet was designed to provide for 2,650 pupils. It broke ground on October 25, 1970 and students entered the building for the first time on September 4, 1973. The majority of the students were from the Chartiers Valley Senior High School, however ninth and tenth-grade students from John Dewey Junior High School and John A. Wight Junior High School transferred.

Thoms Run Road Rebuild (2019 - 2024)

As part of the district’s campus rebuild effort, a new high school was constructed on the Thoms Run Road campus alongside the new middle school. The new high school building occupies roughly the same area that the old building once did. The previous building was nearing 40 years in service and required cost prohibitive repairs to electrical, HVAC, and plumbing systems. Plans began in 2013 for the design and construction of the new campus. Ground was broken in May 2016 and construction continued through 2019. The new middle school was constructed first, with the high school students moving to the old middle school complex once it was complete. The old high school building would then be razed as the location for the new high school complex. High school students moved from the old middle school building to the new high school in January of 2019. This ended a period of students walking between buildings via cargo containers and otherwise constant change. Once the new high school was inhabited, the old middle school complex was demolished.
