A misuse- HALER HIGH SCHOOL was organized under the direc- tion of the Reverend XVilliam Bingham in 1899 to pro- vide 'high school facilities for the residents of Shaler Township. In 1923 the high school was moved to a portion of the Braun School. This was sufficient for a short time, but an expanding population created the necessity of building a modern high school. In 1932 land was pur- chased and construction commenced. The building was completed by fall and it opened at the scheduled time with Miss Jeffery as principal and Mr. Rodgers as super- vising principal of the township's schools. In the late 1940's plans were formulated for t-he re- modeling and conversion of the original school into a junior high when a surge of population growth made inadequate the existing facilities. A new building was added to accomodate the senior portion of the newly integrated school setup. Shaler's six acres of campus which include the football and baseball fields, the track, the parking lots, and the landscaped lawns provide her students with a pleasant and attractive setting for learning.
