History

The Meyersdale Area School District has a rich history, dating back to the latter part of the 19th century.[1] The Jr./High School was built on its current site off of US Route 219 in Summit Township, Somerset County, PA in the late 1950s. At the beginning of the 1973–74 school year, the current grade school was opened, adjoining the current Secondary Campus. The Administration moved into the current S.J. Miller school building, near the school campus. The following year, High School Students had the opportunity to attend the Somerset County Vocational-Technical School in Somerset Township.
