Aliquippa Junior/Senior High School
In 1956 The Aliquippa School District began looking for sites to construct a new Junior High School Facility. In 1957 a site was chosen on top of the hill overlooking the High School, and in 1958 construction began on the new building, and in 1959 Aliquippa Junior High School was dedicated and was built to house 1,200 pupils and was built to house grades 5 to 8. The building was renamed Aliquippa Middle School in the 1970s. Then March 7, 1985 the Aliquippa School Board voted to close Aliquippa Middle School after only 20 years of service. The school board decided to then realign the grades. New Sheffield Elementary School ( Currently Aliquippa Elementary School ) will house grades Kindergarten through Sixth Grade and Aliquippa High School would house grades Seventh through Tweleth Grade. by that time Aliquippa High School would be renamed Aliquippa Junior/Senior High School. It remained that until 1992 when the Aliquippa School Board decided to renovate the former Junior High building, open it, and rename it Aliquippa Middle School. It remained this until 2008 when the Aliquippa School District renovated the middle school building with the high school and renamed it Aliquippa Junior/Senior High School and enrolls 492 pupils.
