The Progress article above as well as the linked Sentinel & gantdaily articles all refer to next year's consolidation of the Indian Valley and Lewistown High Schools. The new school will be known as "Mifflin County High School" with the Husky as the mascot and Purple, Black and Silver for Team Colors. It has not been fully determined in which league/conference the new school's athletic teams will compete.
This is just the latest chapter in an interesting and somewhat confusing story of the high schools of the Mifflin County School District:
In 1971, the Mifflin County School District set about merging the four high schools in the county into one. ( Lewistown-Granville, Rothrock, Chief Logan , and Kishacoquillas became PENN HIGHLANDS, though actually about half the student body attended Chief Logan, with the remainder at another facility while waiting for the new Penn Highlands School to be completed. )
PENN HIGHLANDS lasted three academic years, and was disbanded as the result of a lawsuit against the district, among other reasons, before they ever moved into their new facility. After that, Lewistown absorbed Rothrock and became LEWISTOWN HIGH SCHOOL, while at the same time, following the '75-'76 school year, CHIEF LOGAN HIGH and KISHACOQUILLAS HIGH were restored as separate entities at their original locations.
Since the new Penn Highlands building was almost completed, the school district moved the students of the now combined Lewistown-Granville High / Rothrock High into the new building which was then renamed Lewistown Area High School, which it remains for the time being. This is the building where the Lady Bisons played on January 15th.
In 1989, the Chief Logan and Kishacoquillas High Schools were combined to create INDIAN VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL. It is located at the former Chief Logan High School in Highland Park. That is the building in which last night's game was played.
The former "Kish" High School in Reedsville is currently the Indian Valley Middle School.
The new, un-named school will occupy the building under construction on the hill just above the current Indian Valley H.S.
Various facilities throughout the district will be put to other uses while several will be closed.
