About Us:

Sayre Area School District and Sayre Area High School have a rich history. The present high school building was erected in 1928 and 1929 with additions and remodeling completed in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The community gave its swimming pool to the Sayre Area School District in 1951. The first high school building was actually constructed in 1891 and 1892 and renovated with an annex in 1897. It was a recreation center and later became a 4-6 Elementary School.

Although Sayre Area High School is stepped in tradition as the architecture of its building indicates, the exterior quality of its facilities and the instruction that are and have been provided inside its walls are always state-of-the-are and uncommonly innovative. In fact, even the method of financing the construction of the present high school was so unusual at the time that it needed to receive court approval.

As you might expect from the above, Sayre Area High School features education that is a blend of the traditional secondary program and cutting edge instructional practices. Sayre High School is a small 7-12 high school which operates much like an extended family for its students and focuses on both academic and social development.
