Chartiers Valley High School
View on Wikipedia
Chartiers Valley High School is a public school that was established in 1959 and is physically located in Collier Township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania,[2] United States.[3] However, the school's post office address is Bridgeville, PA. The school district serves Collier Township, Bridgeville Borough, Scott Township and Heidelberg Borough.
Key Information
A new high school and middle school complex is being constructed at the site.[4] The new complex will retain its gymnasium, pool and auditorium.[5] The school has an olympic-size indoor swimming pool[6] which is open to the public three evenings a week. A small fee is charged to district residents and non-residents.[7] The school's on-site stadium was home to the professional soccer team Pittsburgh Riverhounds (2008–2012).[8][9]
The school district is named for Chartiers Creek, which flows through and/or forms part of the border for all four regions (Bridgeville, Collier, Heidelberg, and Scott) the district serves. The creek itself is named after Pierre Chartier.
