Two Decades Of Growth The expanded and improved facilities being shown publicly at this time represent the fourth major building construction project at the high school campus within an 18-year period. And, according to current district enrollment projections, there will be no need for further building provisions in the coming decade and possibly longer. The Area School System came into existence July 1, 1953, and the former Dallastown High School building (now the Charles Street Elementary) filled the secondary education program needs for five years. In September, 1958, the original junior-senior high school building was opened on the 53-acre site bought a few years earlier. Dedication of this facility took place Jan. 2, 1959. Steady growth in the district necessitated the second step in the campus' development in 1963. A new seventh and eighth grade building was constructed in front of the main entrance to the V-shaped original structure. Included were 23 classrooms, a large walk-in freezer for central food storage, the wrestling room and 20 other special areas and rooms. Alterations were made, too, to the original building. Open house was Oct. 24-25, 1964. A third expansion project - that of erecting another building incorporating the newer two-story C wing to implement the middle school concept - was undertaken in 1970. In addition to needed extra classroom space and allied educational facilities, the projeci gave the district its first planetarium and swimming pool and a second auditorium. Open house and dedication were observed Oct. 24, 1971. Now, a new wing parallel to the two-story section of the first building offers a large instructional materials center (library), more classrooms for senior high students, a spacious lecture room and a suite of district administrative offices, including a board meeting room. Modifications and extensions to the existing high school building provide a new guidance center, new kitchen and larger dining area, a remedial gym, a choral practice room, two art rooms, a power tech shop and a biology classroom with attached greenhouse. Air conditioning has been installed in the 1,010-seat auditorium and throughout the high school office area as part of the project. The auditorium previously was not air conditioned while the offices were cooled in summer months by individual window service units. The former high school library space was utilized for the relocated guidance offices and two additional classrooms. Faculty planning rooms occupy the former district administration offices on the top floor of the original A wing while student conference areas are provided directly beneath at ground level. Faculty members have their own private dining room just beyond the student dining area where octagonal seating has been introduced to break up the traditional straight line table arrangement. A new connecting corridor was built between the original 8 wing and the shop and arts wing. Aggregately, the secondary campus facilities developed over the 18-year period represent a community investment of nearly $10 million for the public education of the district's children and young people.
