'WO OLEY HIGH SCHOOL Sckoof syififorg The educational history of Oley begins with the French Huguenots, Quakers, and Ger- mans. These good people, in order to see their children prop- erly educated, began the first schools in their homes. The first Moravian school was built in 1742. After that followed various private or pay schools until Merkel's School, the first public one, was estab- lished on Iohn Clouser's land. In 1857 the Oley Academy was set up. the brick building in which it was housed still stand- ing in the town. The first high school was a two-story brick building. When this was destroyed in 1927. a need for a more modern struc- ture was felt and the present one erected.
