School Notes:
  • Penn Wood High School, originally Lansdowne High School, was opened in 1927 and was considered one of the finest school buildings in the country. The architect was Joseph Linden Heacock, and the builder was John McShain who went on to build the Kennedy Center, The Jefferson Memorial and The Pentagon. Today, it is one of the oldest public school buildings in Pennsylvania, and is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. Built in the Italian Renaissance style, the motto carved above the door reads "To Teach the Art of Living Well." Carved in limestone above the motto are a female figure holding a Greek Temple, and a male figure holding a cog. The school Mascot is Patriots.
