- Camp Hill High School is a coeducational public high school located in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania. It is part of the Camp Hill School District and is the smallest public high school in Cumberland County. It is located approximately ten minutes from the city of Harrisburg. It was founded in 1907 and has an enrollment of approximately 352 students in ninth through twelfth grades. As part of an unusually small school district, with fewer than 100 students in recent graduating classes, the High School shares a building with Camp Hill Middle School, although classes, teachers, and even administrators are completely separate.
- History
-
Before the construction of the first building in 1907, the high school shared a building with students from nearby East Pennsboro Township. The historic structure, directly adjacent to the current high school/middle school complex, was completed in 1907, and graduated its first students in 1910. In 1953 the old school was torn down and replaced with a new three-story brick structure located at the corner of Chestnut Street and South 24th Street.. In 2003 a new cafeteria, and building-wide air conditioning were added to the school, and the old cafeteria and the front courtyard were converted into classrooms.
- Athletics
-
The school athletic teams participate in District 3 of the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association, which governs high school sports for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The school mascot is the Lion. Camp Hill won the state championship in 1999, 2008, and 2009 for baseball, and 1988 for football. The 1988 football team was the first PIAA State champs due to the tournament beginning that year. Until 2001, Football games unusually took place on Saturday mornings instead of Friday nights, due the lack of stadium lighting at Christian Siebert Memorial Park, the home athletic field of the schools' team. Installation of stadium lighting at the field was financed by Coca-cola, and included an agreement which involved installing vending machines at school district athletic fields and buildings.Traditionally, there is a rivalry between Camp Hill High School and neighboring Trinity High School. The two schools compete against each other in football, soccer, cross-country, track and field, baseball, softball, and tennis. The "backyard brawl" games are often highly attended by fans, spectators, and other members of the community.
- Camp Hill's High School soccer team was also runner-up at state playoffs in both 2007 and 2008.
- Marching Band
-
The Camp Hill Marching Lions is a popular extracurricular activity in the school district. The Band, both Concert and Marching Band, has been under the direction of Dean L. Zirkle, since the early 1990's. Available for students in grades ninth through twelfth, the band is made up of over seventy members, in both the band and the colorguard. As of 2008, the band makes up 25% of the student body in the high school. The 2008 Atlantic Coast Championships saw Camp Hill earn its highest placement, at 4th place with a score of 94.15.
- Notable alumni
- William Daniel Phillips, winner of the 1997 Nobel Prize in Physics. A Bronze plaque is installed in the auditorium lobby to commemorate his award. It is tradition for students to rub the protruding nose of the plaque for good luck before taking a test or an exam (usually only physics or chemistry exams). The nose is, as a result, very worn down in its color.
