History
Radnor Middle School was originally built in the 1920s and used to be Radnor High School. Eventually, as both the demand for a larger building and admissions to both the middle and high schools grew, the two were separated. The old middle school was demolished in 2007 and was replaced by a brand new "green school".

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“If usually the “present age” is no very long time, still, at our pleasure, or in the service of some such unity of meaning as the history of civilization, or the study of geology, may suggest, we may conceive the present as extending over many centuries, or over a hundred thousand years.”
—Josiah Royce (1855–1916)
“The thing that struck me forcefully was the feeling of great age about the place. Standing on that old parade ground, which is now a cricket field, I could feel the dead generations crowding me. Here was the oldest settlement of freedmen in the Western world, no doubt. Men who had thrown off the bands of slavery by their own courage and ingenuity. The courage and daring of the Maroons strike like a purple beam across the history of Jamaica.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
“It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
