Hatboro-Horsham Senior High School

Hatboro-Horsham Senior High School is a comprehensive public high school, serving grades 9 -12, located in Horsham, Pennsylvania, about 17 miles outside of Philadelphia. Hatboro-Horsham Senior High School, a successor of the Loller Academy, originally opened in 1950 on Old York Road in Hatboro following the jointure of the Hatboro-Horsham School District. In the 1970s, the school relocated to the campus that currently houses Keith Valley Middle School on Meetinghouse Road. In 1991, the school was moved into a new building, its current location, on Pennsylvania Route 463 (Horsham Road). It is the only high school in the Hatboro-Horsham School District which includes Horsham Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania and Hatboro, Pennsylvania. Its main feeder school is Keith Valley Middle School. Hatboro-Horsham is a member of the Suburban One League Continental Conference and offers a variety of sports programs. Extracurricular activities are also offered in the form of performing arts, school publications, and clubs. Hatboro-Horsham Senior High School is recognized by the United States Department of Education as a Blue Ribbon School of Excellence, and has been named one of the top 150 high schools in the nation by Redbook Magazine. The school is fully accredited by the Pennsylvania Department of Education and in 2006 was recommended for full accreditation by the Middle States Commission on Secondary Schools. Campus and facilities The current Hatboro-Horsham Senior High School campus was completed in 1991 by Boro Developers at a cost of $16,157,971.00. This campus-like project represented a $30 million final construction price and became the flagship school in the tri-state area. The new facility included the installation of state-of-the-art technology and science equipment and one of the most complete auditorium and stage sound and lighting systems available. The building represented over $3.5 million worth of masonry work and brickwork, all accomplished by Boro, and was most notable for its architectural requirements and excellent workmanship. A new wing housing additional classrooms was built at the rear of the building in 1998. The Hatters Swim Team utilizes the pool located at the adjacent Simmons Elementary School, which formerly housed Keith Valley Middle School.
