Butler Area Senior High School
Butler Area Senior High School is a coeducational public senior high school in Butler Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania, United States, serving grades 9–12. The school has a Butler, Pennsylvania post office address. It is the senior high school for the Butler Area School District. The school was founded in 1908, moved to a larger building on an adjacent site in 1917, and moved again to its current site in 1960.
Butler Senior High School was originally opened in a yellow-brick building on a site bounded by McKean, East North, Cliff, and New Castle Streets in central Butler. In 1917 it moved to a three-story red-brick building across Cliff Street, the original building becoming the junior high school. In 1937 it was named John A. Gibson High School, in honor of the district superintendent who retired that year. In 1960 it moved again, to a new building on Campus Lane. The 1917 building later became the junior high school, with an annex built in 1994–95 occupying the site of the 1908 building.
Previously Butler Area Senior High had grades 11-12, while the Intermediate High School had grades 9-10, and the Junior High School 7-8. The junior high, later a middle school, closed in 2022. Since then the Intermediate High School took over for middle school/junior high school grades, and the senior high school now has the grade span 9-12.
The district (of which this is the sole comprehensive high school) covers the City of Butler, the boroughs of Connoquenessing and East Butler, and the townships of Butler, Center, Clearfield, Connoquenessing, Oakland and Summit. Census-designated places in Butler Township include Homeacre-Lyndora, Meadowood, Meridian, and Oak Hills. CDPs in Center Township include Shanor-Northvue and Unionville.
The Senior High is home to the Butler Golden Tornado athletics teams and offers a variety of clubs, activities and sports.
The Butler Golden Tornado Marching Band marches 175 students, who audition for their places.
Butler High School has an Army J.R.O.T.C. program battalion, the Tornado Battalion.
