Samuel S. Nixon Elementary School

The Samuel S. Nixon Elementary School was constructed in 1961 in Scott Township as part of the Chartiers Valley Joint Schools. Chartiers Valley Joint Schools would not become the Chartiers Valley School District until 1965, leaving the impetus for construction to the Scott Township school board and the Chartiers Valley Joint school board. When the school opened its doors for the first time, it opened as the first school in the second wave of commissioned schools within the district.

Samuel S. Nixon, formerly the president of the Scott Township school board, had a family which donated the property to the district for use as a public school. On 5/2/1962, Judge Clarence B. Nixon dedicates the school in honor of his late father.

It would house K - 7 until 1974 when it sent seventh grade students to the Chartiers Valley Middle School.

Nixon would close in 1996 after sending K - 2 students to the newly constructed Chartiers Valley Primary School, then considered state of the art. After its closure, the land would be sold Our Lady of Victory Maronite Center for $618,000. The dedication for the church would take place on 5/10/1997 in the presence of Stephen Hectore Doueihi.
