Until 1961, Eichelberger High School served surrounding township schools. Presented here are photos of those schools. We are continuing to explore these school and request any photos or documentation that is available.

The picture to the right is a octagonal "eight square" school house. It appeared on the back cover of the 1934 Commencement Program. We are not sure why is was included or if any of these types of structures were used in the Hanover, Pennsylvania area during the 19th century. The two links below provide additional information about these uniquely designed buildings.
