November 16, 1956 Organization meeting of the Susquehanna Valley School Authority held. lanuary 11, 1957 Resolutions were adopted by the board to approve the plan and drawings for the new secondary school, the specifications for the new secondary school, and directing the Susquehanna Valley School Authority to proceed immediately to advertise for bids for construction. January 24, 1957 Susquehanna Valley School Authority sets Nlarch 12, 1957 at 7:00 p.m. in the Watsontown High School as the time and place for the opening of bids. lVlarch 27, 1957 The bids were accepted. The largest contract, that of the actual building of the school, was awarded to Ritter Brothers, of Harrisburg, PA. lVlay 18, 1957 Ground-breaking ceremony was held. From that time on construction on the new school moved at a very rapid pace. llllay 8, 1958 ln a special meeting, the board awarded contracts for the furniture and equipment to be used in the nearly-completed school. September 3, 1958 Fifteen months and sixteen days after ground-breaking ceremonies, the new Warrior Run Area loint School was opened for classes. Due to rising enrollment, 1967 brought the need for a new building. The Warrior Run Junior-Senior High School, originally designed for 1,050 stu- dents, was severely overcrowded by 1,300 students. The seven outlying elementary schools had no cafeterias, libraries, or medical facilities. A four- four-four system was then devised for the district by which the high school, a new building, would house grades 9-12, the middle school, the previous high school, would have grades 5-8, and the elementaries, the already standing structures, would house grades 1-4. Why was the new building designated to be the high school? Traditionally, new high schools have been built to replace the outdated ones. This reasoning led to the Warrior Run High School as we presently know it.

'L FA C The most important thing a student receives from a school is knowledge. Knowledge that will remain throughout our lives. The faculty members of Warrior Run have enriched our lives by making us aware. For some, it has been through the encourage- ment of a special talentg for others, it has been the chance to explore new areas of interest, as well as the chance to learn through failure. But, for all it has been the opportunity to prove ourselves and to discover who we really are. I 'iu-il
