Upper Merion Area High School

Upper Merion Area High School is a comprehensive public high school, operated by the Upper Merion Area School District, in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, in Upper Merion Township in the Philadelphia metropolitan area.

A building project to construct a new high school facility began in the spring of 2020, and the building was completed in August 2022. The building is located approximately 15 miles west of Philadelphia.

Upper Merion Area High School (UMAHS) serves students from Upper Merion Township, Bridgeport, and West Conshohocken. Recognizing the importance of long-standing traditions, students at the Upper Merion Area High School are instrumental in continuing to add school spirit opportunities to the already existing traditions. These traditions include fall and spring spirit weeks, homecoming, appointing homecoming king and queen, pep rallies, Diversity Day, and more. Students at UMAHS are not only members of the academic student body but also participate in many extracurricular programs, including sports teams, clubs, service-learning opportunities, community service, theater productions, art exhibitions, and student council. Many of these activities are sponsored and led by UMAHS staff and community members. Participation in the numerous clubs and activities supports the notion that students of UMAHS are proud to be part of the “Viking Nation."

Upper Merion has been a member of the Pioneer Athletic Conference since 2016.
