Description
The McCandless School Board purchased 150 acres on Cumberland Road from the Cole family in 1945 for the site of the new North Allegheny Junior-Senior High School, today known as the North Allegheny Intermediate School. The school was dedicated on October 24, 1954, with Dr. Jonas Salk attending the ceremonies. The school was recognized nationally as the Best School Design of the Year by the Progressive Architecture magazine in 1952. The school originally accommodated grades seven through twelve and in 1968, grades eleven and twelve were transferred to the new Senior High School. In the spring of 1989 the North Allegheny Intermediate School, with grades nine and ten, became the second school in the District to win the United States Department of Education Blue Ribbon of Excellence.
