Thirteen High School History A high school was first established in Rochester in 1890, and was located in the jefferson Street build- ing. At this time a two-year course in general and academic subjects was offered. W. F. Bliss, principal, taught mathematics and science, Miss Mary Stone, language and history. When the highschool was moved to Pinney Street in 1902, the four-year course was introduced. The school. was one of the highest ranking educational organizations in Beaver County. . 'In 1912 the Commercial Course was added to the curriculum. -The classes were crowded on the regular schedule and rooms, such as cou.ld be found available, were assigned. . The present building was first used in 1916. At that time it seemed as though the high school would accommodate a great many pupils. The graduating class contained twenty persons and the total enroll- ment was less than one hundred. Now, the enrollment is over five hundred. I - . With the opening of the present building came new advancements. Chapel exercises were never held before 1916. -Improvements were made on the course of study, and the school has progressed until now it is a member of the National Honor Society and has been placed on the accredited list of schools. ' The Junior High has also been placed on a higher basis in organization, program of studies, related acti- vities and method of procedure. The principals have done much to make R. H. S. a progressive and high ranking school. They were respectively: W. F. Bliss, Mr. McCandless, Rufus Darr, W. S. Taft, Stanley Fowler, Mr. Metzgar, Leonard S. Duncan, Mrs. Elizabeth C. McCoy and R. P. Barner.
