MILLVALE HIGH
SCHOOL CELEBRATES
GRAND REUNION
Millvale High School alumni have been
celebrating together since 1998. A Grand
Reunion is held every two years, which
includes anyone who attended Millvale High
from 1928 through 1971, when the high
school closed due to a merger with Shaler.
This year’s reunion took place on July 16,
and proved no different from past years. Over
270 alumni gathered at the Croatian Center,
located off of Babcock Boulevard, beginning
at noon for a picnic of hot dogs and snacks.
As classmates entered through the gate, they
were provided with name tags and a raffle
ticket for a basket raffle of donated items
from committee members and a few outside
donors. A DJ provided music to add to the
festivities.
Throughout the day tickets could be
purchased for a 50/50 and a lottery tree raffle.
A catered dinner was served at 4 p.m. and
the event concluded at approximately 8 p.m.
Everyone had a wonderful time renewing old
friendships and all are looking forward to the
next reunion, currently scheduled for July 14,
2018.
SHALER AREA SCHOOL
DISTRICT PROJECTS
Over the summer, Shaler Area School
District began work on two projects within
the district that will improve facilities for
students, student athletes and community
members.
In June, crews began a project to update
Titan Stadium, located on Mt. Royal
Boulevard. The project includes replacing the
running track surface and installing FieldTurf
on the playing field, as well as installing new
lighting. The completed project will allow for
more sports teams and community groups to
utilize the facility, and provide an improved
track surface for community and school use.
The project is scheduled to be completed by
the end of September.
Construction work also officially
began to construct a new, fully accessible,
state‑of‑the-art primary school at the site
of Rogers Primary School on Scott Avenue.
The new 82,279-square-foot K-3 Primary
School will be a two-story structure that
will accommodate 460 to 600 students.
The school is designed to house each grade
level in its own neighborhood of classrooms
and special education rooms, and includes
additional parking capacity, enhanced
security features, a separate cafeteria, library,
