Eichelberger High School

Two wings were added to the original Eichelberg Academy building in 1932 and the building became the home of the towns high school. Many in the community feel that the years that the school served as a high school between 1932 and 1964 were the glory years for the district sports teams. EHS was part of the South Penn conference and played large school districts such as Chambersburg, Shippensburg, and York. It was during this time that the high school served not only Borough residents but the outlining townships. Classes were large, around 200.

Learn more about this building.

From the opening of the new high school in the 1932 - 33 school year this building also served as an elementary school until 1941 when the elementary grades were moved to the newly constructed Penn Street building. Because the roles of the the two schools were so different and for the purposes of archiving, we have created a new section call Stock Street Elementary. We believe that this is a legitimate name for this new section based on the oral and written histories presented in these archives. Elementary photos included on this page have been moved to the Stock Street Elementary page.
