Oley Valley High School - History

History

The current Oley Valley High School was built in 1961 adjacent to what is now the Oley Valley School District Administration building, which was formerly the Oley Valley K-5 building until 1993.

The high school was renovated in 1981 to have a joint middle school. In 2002, a new middle school was built and the left-over wing incorporated into the high school, primarily as the social studies wing.

The school district superintendent was Jeffrey Zackon until he died while abroad during the German class trip on April 20, 2011 while in the Swiss alps. The Oley Valley School District's new superintendent is Tracy Shank.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

    What has history to do with me? Mine is the first and only world! I want to report how I find the world. What others have told me about the world is a very small and incidental part of my experience. I have to judge the world, to measure things.
    Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)

    The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.
    Karl Marx (1818–1883)

    The history of his present majesty, is a history of unremitting injuries and usurpations ... all of which have in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world, for the truth of which we pledge a faith yet unsullied by falsehood.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
