School History Forbes Road High School was constructed in 1959. w ith its first graduating class in 1960. At the time of its con- struction, the school was known as Forbes Road Joint Junior-Senior School. Prior to 1959, secondary education in northern Fulton County had been conducted at the Huslontown High School, and partially at the Fort Littleton School. The school colors, blue and gold, are carry-overs from Hustontown High School. They were chosen in the late- |920's by Principal Bruce B. Sheats whose alma mater. Bucknell University, has the same blue and gold. The school mascot, the Cardinal, is also a vestige from Hustontown. The story is told that the school, in search of a mascot back in the 1940’s, chose a winner the Cardinal mascot of the baseball team in St. Louis, then recent World Series champions. The suggestion was left to a vote by the student body who favored the Cardinal, a local bird, as well. The name Forbes Road comes from the military route followed by British General John Forbes in a 1758 French and Indian War campaign against the French at Fort Duqucsnc. Forbes' route from Philadelphia entered what is now Fulton County through Cowan's Gap and the present village of Burnt Cabins to a fort at the settlement of Sugar Cabins called Fort Littleton. From there, the General and his troops progressed through the area which is now Hustontown, and possibly along a path roughly through the gap in Sideling Hill, and on to camp at “Raestown where he constructed Fort Bedford. General Forbes was a winner, too. His campaign eventually resulted in the expulsion of the French from Fort Duqucsne. Forbes Road High School 3
