This school served the Borough of Woodlawn for many years until 1923, In 1924 the dedication ceremony was conducted for the new Harding High School, The School was named after the late president Warren G. Harding. Woodlawn High School was renamed Franklin School until it was demolished in 1988. In 1931 Harding High School was renamed Aliquippa High School this was done due to the Merger of Woodlawn and Aliquippa three years earlier in 1928. In 1954 a Auditorium was built. In 2008 the Aliquippa High School was in a State of Deterioration. The Aliquippa School Board decided to move high school students up to the middle school which was being renovated.

Famous quotes containing the words senior, high and/or school:
“I suffer whenever I see that common sight of a parent or senior imposing his opinion and way of thinking and being on a young soul to which they are totally unfit. Cannot we let people be themselves, and enjoy life in their own way? You are trying to make that man another you. One’s enough.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“It is marvelous indeed to watch on television the rings of Saturn close; and to speculate on what we may yet find at galaxy’s edge. But in the process, we have lost the human element; not to mention the high hope of those quaint days when flight would create “one world.” Instead of one world, we have “star wars,” and a future in which dumb dented human toys will drift mindlessly about the cosmos long after our small planet’s dead.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
“True it is that she who escapeth safe and unpolluted from out the school of freedom, giveth more confidence of herself than she who cometh sound out of the school of severity and restraint.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
